#M3Challenge weekend wrapped two weeks ago, and we’re still celebrating the 770 teams who submitted solutions to this year’s problem on online gambling! Judging is underway by 100+ professionals — stay tuned for status updates in the coming weeks.

Fifteen 11th and 12th graders took on the M3C (MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge) on Sunday, March 1, working intensely on campus from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the full 14-hour competition. Tackling this year’s real-world problem on online sports gambling, our students showed impressive dedication and teamwork—even with many tests awaiting them the following week. 📊💻👏 📸 by aiwahashi
