Project Archimedes Learning
As an outgrowth of the Jewish values of education and tzedaka (helping others) that he learned at home, Adam was moved to start Archimedes Learning, a not-for-profit, to encourage and stimulate enthusiasm for math and science in school-aged children. The program provides low-income children in Los Angeles public schools with hands-on, creative, and fun math and science-focused activities.
His after-school lessons include creating a submarine out of a water bottle to learn about buoyancy, using paper cups tied together with string to explore how sound travels; and counting M&Ms to understand ratios. Adam’s out-of-the-box thinking has helped students become passionate about subjects vital to America’s economic and technological advancement.
