About the event
Gauss Competition
Participating in a mathematics and computing contest helps students develop invaluable skills, like creative problem-solving and big-picture thinking.
CEMC contests can help students:
- discover and grow a love of mathematics and computer science,
- apply knowledge in novel situations, and
- make connections across topics in mathematics and computing.
And because CEMC contests are challenging but attainable activities for young learners, they also build students' confidence in their ability to tackle difficult problems — a key ingredient for student success both inside and outside the classroom.
This is open to students in grades 7 or 8 or anyone that is younger but would like to participate.
