About the National Program

BEAM is expanding our national program to provide thousands of students access to math enrichment in under-resourced communities. The national program consists of three programs to reach our goal of providing under-resourced students access to math enrichment.  A majority of students will be in our elementary school program, Entry Points, where we currently partner with over 700 students in 5 different states.  We aim to reach over 4,000 students in the next 5 years. Eligible students from the Entry Points program will graduate to our middle school program, Bridge, and our high school program, Pathway.
