Support an Exhibit Dedicated to Bernie Goudreau

MoMath would like to raise enough money to dedicate an exhibit to Bernie Goudreau, a much-beloved math teacher from Nassau County, Long Island, who inspired and excited thousands of students. The chosen exhibit is the Enigma Café, which will be a gallery filled with a rotating series of puzzles. Through the generosity of Andrew Davidson, a former student of Bernie’s, the campaign will be supported by a dollar-for-dollar matching program. To learn more and contribute, please visit goudreau.momath.org, or connect via Facebook or LinkedIn.
