Professor Lauren Rose wants to make sure girls have every opportunity to enjoy and excel at mathematics. Studies show that many girls lose confidence and interest in mathematics as adolescents. To combat this, Dr. Rose founded Bard MAGPIES: Math & Girls + Inspiration = Success, a free program for girls, as well as trans and gender-diverse students, in fourth through ninth grade. Run by Bard faculty and undergraduate students, MAGPIES provides math enrichment and mentoring in a supportive and community-based learning environment.
In this interview, Dr. Rose speaks with Laura Hart, founder and CEO of Bard community partner Robofun, about MAGPIES and their upcoming Girls Math Jam on Sunday, October 30.
Lauren Rose is an associate professor of mathematics at Bard and a senior fellow in Bard's Center for Civic Engagement. She has been on the faculty at Bard College since 1997.
