The largest math competition for high school girls in the world, hosted annually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the Advantage Testing Foundation. Based on exceptional performances on the AMC 10/12 exams, the top 300 young women in North America are invited to complete a challenging, multi-hour test featuring complex proof-oriented math.
COMAP'S High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM) and Middle Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MidMCM) are international contests designed to provide high school and middle school/level students with the opportunity to work as team members to engage and improve their modeling, problem solving, and writing skills. Contest problems are accessible using the mathematics taught at the respective levels of the contests.
Widely regarded as the most prestigious summer research program in the world for high school students. Jointly sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education and hosted at MIT, 80 elite scholars from around the globe participate in a fully funded, six-week intensive program combining on-campus graduate coursework with hands-on, individual scientific research alongside leading scientists.
An educational initiative organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that promotes STEM research among high schoolers. Instead of submitting completed work, students apply with a novel research proposal; selected winners receive funding, active mentorship from MIT undergraduates, and an all-expenses-paid trip to MIT's campus to kickstart their projects.
The premier high school mathematics competition circuit in the United States, administered by the Mathematical Association of America. Students progress through a highly selective series of timed exams—the AMC 10/12 and the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME)—culminating in the USAMO, where the nation’s top qualifiers tackle proof-based problems testing advanced combinatorics, geometry, number theory, and algebra.
An elite, multi-tiered online algorithmic coding competition designed to identify and train top high school programmers. Participants advance through four competitive divisions—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—by solving complex algorithmic problems under tight time constraints using programming languages such as C++, Java, and Python.
The USA Physics Olympiad (USAPhO) is a highly competitive, multi-stage physics competition for high school students, organized by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). The program serves as the selection process for the U.S. Physics Team, identifying top students to represent the United States at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) based on their mastery of conceptual and mathematical physics.
