Project Amplify: Small Conversations about Big Ideas Lauren Mobley
-
- Kids & Family
No one has succeeded without failing. (What?!) No matter how easy someone makes something look, no one knows everything. (You don’t say!) Even super successful people face setbacks. (Gasp!) Everyone asks for help. (No way!)
Tune in as host/teacher Lauren Mobley talks with people about overcoming obstacles, learning from failure, celebrating successes, and more! Project Amplify is great for families, classrooms (4th grade+), and solo listeners who are young/young at heart.
Remember, even the smallest conversations can have the biggest impact.

Hala Ghousseini: Everyone Can Do Math
Math. Did reading that word wake up your brain with excitement or make you mentally groan? Either way, keep reading, please! Hala Ghousseini (she/her), a math professor at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, works to help everyone find meaning and confidence in math. Hopefully, after listening to our conversation, her passion for the subject makes it a bit clearer how math can help us make sense of the world in ways you didn't expect. (And this is coming me who, as a kid, vowed to hate math for her entire life)!
