Making Education More Accessible

Access to quality math and science resources should be free, along with the education required to master them. These organizations dedicate themselves to making that possible.

Why This Matters to Us

A student who understands percentages can comparison shop and avoid predatory loans. A student who understands statistics can tell the difference between a real news and misinformation. A student who understands compound interest will start saving ten years earlier than one who does not. Far from being abstract, math is the one of life's most practical skills.

Access to quality math and science education is not evenly distributed. A child's zip code, household income, and skin color can still impact the quality of their education. That is unacceptable, but not inevitable. The organizations below are proving that every single day.

We are a calculator website. We're not going to pretend that it's the same as running a nonprofit or teaching a classroom full of kids, but we can use our platform and resources to point people toward the organizations doing that work, and make sure our resources stay free and accessible to anyone who needs them.

Organizations We Support

Khan Academy

Math & Science

Khan Academy offers free math courses from early arithmetic through calculus and statistics, with interactive exercises, videos, and a tutoring tool. Millions of students use it daily, and it has never charged a dime.

Why we chose them: Math is the foundation for every calculator on VastCalc. Khan Academy makes that foundation accessible to any student with an internet connection, regardless of their school district's budget or their family's income. That is exactly the kind of impact we want to amplify.

Code.org

STEM & Coding

Code.org provides free computer science curriculum for K-12 teachers, runs the annual Hour of Code campaign, and has helped pass CS education policies in all 50 states. Over 80 million students have gone through their programs.

Why we chose them: Computer science runs on math. The same thinking that helps a student use a calculator well (breaking a problem into steps, checking whether an answer makes sense) is what makes someone a good programmer. Code.org gets more students started.

Black Girls CODE

STEM & Coding

Black Girls CODE introduces girls of color ages 7 to 18 to computer science and technology through workshops, summer camps, and after-school programs. They teach robotics, AI, web development, mobile apps, and game design in cities across the US, and have reached over 30,000 girls since 2011.

Why we chose them: When girls see people who look like them building technology, it shifts what they think is possible. Black Girls CODE is putting more young women of color in rooms where tech gets built.

MATHCOUNTS

Math Education

MATHCOUNTS runs engaging math programs for middle school students across the United States. Their flagship competition series takes students from school-level contests all the way to nationals, while their free Math Club program brings collaborative problem-solving to classrooms everywhere. They reach over 100,000 students annually.

Why we chose them: Middle school is where most people decide whether they are a "math person" or not. MATHCOUNTS meets students at that critical moment and shows them that math can be challenging, social, and genuinely fun. That shift in attitude lasts a lifetime.
