Mission Statement

Our mission is to level the playing field of college access by providing free, culturally-relevant, and accessible education and test prep resources designed for low-income students and BIPOC students.

About This Cause

We are building scalable, culturally relevant, and relatable educational resources designed for low-income students and BIPOC students. Our content currently covers SAT prep and middle school math fundamentals, and our goal is to cover all core, K-12 subject areas. All our content is free and accessible via a highly interactive mobile app and website. Our SAT questions are based on content students enjoy - movie scripts, young adult novels, pop culture, and real situations - to engage students in their learning, help them build skills in a way that feels relevant, and ease them into the test. Students learn parallel sentence structure and grammar through dialogue from Black Panther, how charts effectively support an author’s thesis through an article arguing Fenty is more inclusive than other makeup brands, and how to set up linear equations through a word problem about buying snacks to deal with a bad break-up. Our math content is similarly interactive, culturally-relevant, and engaging. Students can learn functions through a vending machine that has a mapping of inputs and outputs, slopes through an interactive roller coaster, and absolute value through a comparison of healers and attackers in video games. You can find all our content at www.almostfun.org.
