The Adelaide 36ers are excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Learn Fresh to introduce the NBA Math Hoops program to schools in South Australia and the Northern Territory. This initiative marks the Adelaide 36ers as the first professional basketball organization outside the United States to collaborate with Learn Fresh on this innovative educational program. NBA Math Hoops combines the thrill of basketball with mathematics, fostering teamwork and confidence among students while enhancing their engagement in STEM subjects. Through interactive gameplay and real-world statistics, students will sharpen their math skills in a fun and collaborative environment. The program has already impacted over 1.7 million students globally, proving its effectiveness in developing critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving abilities. A study conducted in 2025 revealed that students participating in 17-24 hours of NBA Math Hoops programming experienced a significant learning boost of 4-5 months in the covered content. The Adelaide 36ers are committed to supporting schools and teachers in implementing this program, ensuring students can connect their learning with STEM in a meaningful way. South Australian and Northern Territory schools have a unique opportunity to participate in the NBA Math Hoops program at no cost. Selected schools will receive access to the NBA Math Hoops board game, curriculum resources, classroom support, and professional development for teachers, all designed to create an engaging sports-based educational experience. The Adelaide 36ers and Learn Fresh are dedicated to making this program accessible to schools from diverse communities, including those in regional and remote areas. Teachers interested in the program can attend an online professional development session to learn more about its implementation in the classroom. The online training will equip educators with practical strategies and insights to ensure successful delivery. Schools eager to join the Adelaide 36ers Math Hoops program should register their interest promptly, as spaces are limited.

Together, the Adelaide 36ers and Learn Fresh aim to inspire students through the dynamic fusion of basketball, education, and innovation.
