Farid Nolen was studying Engineering Physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 2005 when he founded the non-profit math mentor organization Intize.

The unique mathematics mentorship model is now being implemented by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise nation-wide on all colleges and universities as “ENT3R”, which also won the international 2010 Global Best Award in the category Developing the Future Workforce. Since 2007 Farid has worked as an educational consultant, delivering thousands of inspirational talks and workshops to more than 80,000 people of all ages and backgrounds in 22 countries. Farid was awarded a scholarship by the King of Sweden in 2013 for “Young Leadership with strong values”. As a result of Mathivation World Tour 2009, Farid established a Mathivation Center at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand. Farid has since published an inspirational book on the use of Mathematics in our lives. called “Says Who? From imitator to innovator – and what’s math got to do with it?”. Farid is also the author of Math Maze; the first math book of its kind, accessible to students worldwide as it includes no words at all and can be understood regardless of language skills.
As a motivational speaker and educational consultant, Farid Nolen created Math Maze and Nolen Education as supporting platforms for distribution of additional resources to impact education and promote Mathematics.
