Making Math Fabulous
Meet the TikTok Drag Queen Making Math Fabulous
Parents - February 18th, 2022
Kyne discusses queer representation in STEM and how she is making math fun and interesting for everyone.
For many of us parents, the pandemic forced us to face our children's relationships with math by addressing our own. From collective Google searching of "what in the hell is common core" to seeking out ways to make math fun, we have had to ask, "Is math just a drag?"
Now, it really is. Meet Kyne, the world-class drag queen math communicator. Kyne (the creation of Kyne Santos) began her drag career while studying Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, completing her major in Mathematical Finance, all while appearing on the wildly popular Canada's Drag Race. The idea to finally bridge her two loves of math and drag came to her when the global pandemic swept us all into many hours stuck in our homes.
Kyne has since exploded on TikTok and across all platforms with her videos that make math fun, relevant, and incredibly creative. Dressed in top-notch glamour with bright and eye-catching wigs, Kyne covers real-world applications of math while sharing math riddles for viewers to solve alongside her.
