Math Competition
INTEGIRLS Math Competition
The INTEGIRLS Math Competition consists of individual, team, and relay rounds along with fun STEM related activities for girls and non-binary individuals! All levels of math experience are welcome!
Our Math Competition isn't just about winning through equations and formulas; it's about building connections, engaging with peers, and celebrating the beauty of math. Our competition participants attend to join a wonderful community, and we're thrilled for YOU to become take part in this experience with us.
All you have to do is sign up, and INTEGIRLS will place you in a team of up to 4 people. If you already have a team, however, let us know who they are in the form!
This competition is designed for girls and non-binary individuals only. If you do not identify as either of them, you are more than welcome to volunteer and support us as a proctor. Please email us at baltimore@integirls.org for inquiries. :)
Who can participate?
This competition is open to all female-identifying and non-binary students under the age of 18. You do need to live in Baltimore to compete. If you do not fall under these requirements, please consider helping out as a volunteer! All competition participants and volunteers will receive certified service hours from the INTEGIRLS nonprofit.
