A mother’s love is one of life’s greatest gifts — steady, selfless, encouraging, and endlessly inspiring.

At MathAltitude, we are grateful for the amazing mothers and grandmothers who support their children through every challenge, celebrate every success, and help them grow with confidence and kindness.

Wishing all mothers a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love, joy, and appreciation! 💐

🤖At last week’s Robotics Day, alongside the inspiring demo from Mass Academy’s FIRST Robotics Team 190, there was 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 that got everyone excited.

Mr. Ed Sawyer — who teaches programming at MathAltitude — shared that this fall he will be launching a 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝟯–𝟲!
And this won’t be just about learning theory.

Students will actually:
⚙️ build their own robots
🔌 add motors and sensors
💻 program how they behave and respond
🏁 and finish the course with a real robot competition!

It’s a hands-on journey into engineering, creativity, and problem-solving — where students don’t just learn about robotics, they create it themselves.

The official course announcement and registration details will be shared soon. Stay tuned — this is one you won’t want to miss!

A group of MathAltitude students recently had the exciting opportunity to tour WPI High Powered Rocketry Club lab. Captain Meyer Jacobson, along with members of his team, welcomed our students and led a fascinating deep dive into the design and engineering of their rocket for the upcoming international competition.

During the visit, students explored the rocket’s major systems and key components—including the body, payload, guidance system, propulsion, nose cone, and fins—and gained insight into how each element must work in precise harmony to ensure stability and optimal aerodynamic performance. The experience brought complex mathematical and scientific concepts to life in a tangible and engaging way.

Our students were highly engaged throughout the visit, asking thoughtful questions and demonstrating genuine curiosity. It was a wonderful opportunity to see math and science in action beyond the classroom. Meyer concluded by encouraging students to continue exploring, learning, and challenging themselves—reminding them that their future paths may be shaped by the interests they pursue today.
