Two years ago the Desmos Fellowship was born. The idea behind the Desmos
Fellowship was simple: Bring together a group of talented, reflective, and
diverse educators, and support and learn from them however we could. We flew
the Desmos Fellows out for an all-expenses paid trip to our headquarters in
San Francisco, where we spent the weekend learning, activity building,
collaborating, community building and setting up relationships that would
carry us through the year and beyond. After that weekend we continued to
support the Desmos Fellows by offering weekly prompts to help them reflect and
learn from each other, and we continue to build community through both virtual
and face to face events.
What we didn’t anticipate was that the fellowship would become an integral part of the work that we do in the math education world. We receive far more from the Desmos Fellows than we could ever give. We are so grateful for the opportunity to learn from and with this amazing group. In the past two years the Desmos Fellows have had the first look at all of our new features and activities, offering feedback to help us make them the best we possibly could. Desmos wouldn’t be the same without its Fellows.
