YMLP: The Youth Mathematician Laureate Project

Youth Mathematician Laureates use mathematics as their artistic medium. Combining mathematics with their joy, can-do attitudes, and courage, laureates act on their convictions and revitalize their communities through various projects and social justice activities. This special group of young mathematician artists is of every ethnicity, age, and skill level. What they all have in common is their desire to make a difference. As a poet laureate uses words to memorialize a special occasion or advocate for an issue, a mathematician laureate uses mathematics to plot a community garden or aid individuals with their taxes.
