Teachers on a mission to close the achievement gap
The CoreEd1 team brings 75+ years of teaching experience in urban school districts. Together we created Stemrace, accelerated learning designed to close the achievement gap in math.
Mission
Begin STEM education in PreK and give every learner access to STEM.
Vision
Redefine grade-level expectations in mathematics for PreK through 12th grade students.
“Lack of math fact fluency is the root cause of low academic achievement in mathematics.”
Stronger math skills support social-emotional growth, language development, computational literacy and entrepreneurial thinking. Stemrace is a 4–10 month program of 5 minutes a day that starts accelerating growth in any PreK–12 student right away.

CEO & Founder
Math, the universal language
As a young English Language Learner, thanks to high math skills, I was proficient in literacy and advanced in math. Although I looked and spoke differently, math gave me the confidence and foundation to excel in school.
As non-English speakers, it was difficult for my parents to help with my schoolwork. But math is where they were most effective. In Spanish we played math games at home, in the car and at the store. We filled notebooks with formulas, math facts and concept drawings.
Math was everywhere I went and in everything I did. I founded Stemrace to provide every child with the same core ed skills that allowed me to reach my full potential as both a learner and teacher.
