Discover concept-driven mathematics and science competitions designed to inspire curiosity, test problem-solving skills, and connect students with a community of like-minded learners.
Competitions are structured so students can enter at the right academic level, choose mathematics, science, or both where available, and grow toward deeper reasoning through each round.
View CategoriesDesigned for students beginning to explore advanced concepts. Each year we offer separate math and science exams so learners can dive into the subject they are most passionate about, or take both. The focus is on foundational reasoning, curiosity, and preparation for more advanced study.
