MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge

 

A completely free, online opportunity for 11th and 12th graders. You register a team, as their teacher, then let the students do the work.

The contest provides everything needed to succeed, including free resources and software. Every participant receives a certificate and the top 37 teams earn scholarship prizes totaling $100,000. The very best teams get an all-expense paid trip to New York City to present their papers! .

Check out the M3 Challenge website for all the information you need, and then get a team of three to five students registered! If you aren’t sure if they can commit, no problem, team members can be switched all the way up until after Challenge weekend to reflect those who participated.
