Outreach and education

Between 2018 and 2022, it was my privilege to collaborate with the Tla'amin Nation (Coast Salish First Nation), Cybera and with Simon Fraser University on the development of free educational resources studying the complexity and mathematics in Indigenous tradition. These resources are freely available as part of the Callysto project.
