FOLLOWUP: Here’s how first-ever student-organized West Seattle Math Competition added up

Back in March, we told you about plans for the first-ever West Seattle Math Competition – organized by students, for students, all middle-schoolers. The competition happened this past Saturday at the Admiral HUB – and we were there to photograph the conclusion of the competition (the first few hours happened behind closed doors). It ended with a trophy ceremony for both the individual and team winners. Individual winners were Bella, Zhenyu, and Sadhika:

They were all from the Skyview Mathematics team, which came in first and also included Brayden:

The second-place team, the Three MusketeersPrayaag, Neilai, Ashrith:

And the third-place team, the West Side 3, with Ayan, Oliver, Sterling, Rohan:

The competition spanned four rounds, including algebra, geometry, probability, and number theory problems.

P.S. Thanks to Lacey, parent of an organizer, for letting us know about all this; she says, “It is very impressive what they have done and myself and the other parents involved are very proud of them.”

    Thank you West Seattle Blog for stopping by and writing up about this! The kids are feeling very proud of themselves. I’m including a photo of my son’s math team who came up with this great idea,  and their friends who did all of the work on event day! Kudos to Dylan, Bo, Taaknuw, Maurizio, Landon, Gavin, Josie and Desmond for running this event!  Thank you, Admiral HUB for letting us use your space. It was a success!

    As their witnessing co-math coach, I could not be more impressed and inspired by these young scholars.

Sorry, comment time is over.
