Creating a common language in math through online learning
Dr. Po-Shen Loh wears many hats. He is a mathematician, social entrepreneur, a Carnegie Mellon University professor, the national coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad team, the creator of the NOVID anonymous coronavirus tracking app, a professional speaker and a trained improv comedian.

But above all, he is a teacher. He is using many varied skills to both help the world think differently about mathematics and think differently with mathematics. Rather than simply teaching rote methods, Dr. Loh teaches how to approach mathematical problems with a new mindset.

His Daily Challenge math courses are designed for the top 10% of sixth to eighth-grade students. Inspired by game shows and video games, Dr. Loh built the Daily Challenge to teach advanced mathematics to a young audience in a way that was engaging and fun. Since launching the Daily Challenge in 2019, Dr. Loh has taught more than 2500 students the ability to think differently about mathematics. Fittingly, Dr. Loh chose Thinkific to help him do this.
