About Us
We are both engineering students who are passionate about the future of education.
Maeve Stites
I am an Electrical and Computer Engineering major at Olin College of Engineering. I get a lot of satisfaction out of explaining complex subjects in simple terms. In high school, I always wanted to know the logic behind something and roughly how it worked, even if I did not have the knowledge for a full understanding. I wanted to remove the black box around topics we were not supposed to know or were supposed to assumed worked.

I am an Engineering with Design major at Olin College of Engineering. I was drawn to this project because I wanted to help get high school students excited about what they are learning - especially in regards to math.
I did well in High School, but I always felt a disconnection from what I was learning. I always wanted to see the greater purpose of something I was learning, this project gave me the opportunity to do so.
Contributions:
- Wrote about the SVD in detail
- Mathematical interpretations, data analysis
- Wrote about Symmetric Matrices
- Wrote the project proposals
- Created the educational videos
