The transformative power of mathematics

Mamen Salcedo holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology and works in the design and development of educational and social projects focused on the inclusion of vulnerable groups, methodological innovation, and cultural promotion. In her tireless fight against the belief of innate mathematical talent, Mamen brought Jump Math to Spain, a teaching methodology for this subject that was born in Canada and that makes students lose their fear of the subject by working on the concepts little by little to give them confidence. She is a founding partner of UpSocial, an organisation that aims to contribute to solving social challenges through innovative solutions. She is also responsible for Jump Math for Spain and Latin America.
