MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge is a contest for high school juniors and seniors in the U.S. and sixth form students in England and Wales. Through participation, students experience what it’s like to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem under time and resource constraints, akin to those faced by professional mathematicians working in industry. The Challenge was 14 hours continuously and the teams submitted a report of their work at the end.

MCP had two teams that participated;
Team: Nicholas Llaurado, Shubhankar Naik, Spencer Riegler, Zach Schroeder, Amber Snook and Team: Beth Heffernan, Sophie Hilton, Eli Marslek, Levi Munster, Gautam Naik

Both teams did an amazing job of submitted a viable solution paper at the end of the 14 hours. Only 113 of the 612 teams that submitted a viable solution paper, about 18.5%, go onto the second round of judging. The team of Beth, Sophie, Eli, Levi, and Gautam are going on to the next round of judging. They are MCP's first team to go onto the second round of judging. Please keep them in your prayers.

We are so proud of both teams!
