Math is everywhere, and when Doodles and Digits is involved, math is fun, too. This year, Doodles and Digits and The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation announced a partnership to underwrite the television debut of “How It’s Math” on Public Television.
Foundation Partner
Director of ESG and Social Impact Katherine Dickens shared why this is such a great fit for our company: “When Caroline from Doodles & Digits approached us, she shared a compelling picture of the dire state of education for elementary age children post-Covid. Caroline has a local link to Scotts as someone living in Columbus with awareness of the company. She presented a need that was really meaningful.”
Continued Connection
It turns out that not only was the Foundation a wonderful fit for Doodles and Digits, but ScottsMiracle-Gro’s R&D department was a winning equation for a program segment. As we mentioned, math is everywhere, and that includes throughout a lawn and garden company. From product development to field tests, math is at the forefront of innovation at ScottsMiracle-Gro.
Caroline Farkas, founder of Doodles and Digits, loved the connection between education, math and gardening: “First and foremost, we seek organizations that are passionate about education and making a positive impact on young learners. It’s important that the organization values creativity, innovation, and real-world learning,” says Caroline. “We consider how the organization’s work intersects with the themes we explore on our show, such as science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM).”
