Six volunteers from the IEEE Schenectady section assisted at the
state MathCounts competition, Saturday, March 13th at RPI in Troy,
NY. MathCounts (http://www.mathcounts.org) is a program of the National
Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) to promote math and
problem solving skills among 7th and 8th graders. The winners go
on to the nationals in Washington, DC. MathCounts was written up
in the Albany (NY) Times Union at: http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=228422&category=RENSSELAER&BCCode=&newsdate=3/15/2004#
The IEEE volunteers helped to score papers from the over 300 participants in three fast-paced rounds of mathematical competitions. Due to the enthusiasm this event has generated we will be ramping up IEEE participation in MathCounts activities at the start of the new school year. Stay tuned for updates.
