MATHCOUNTS Promotes STEM Through Competition and Fun

MATHCOUNTS was held at University of Massachusetts Lowell in March. The event promotes middle school mathematics achievement through coaching and fun "bee style" competitions nationwide. This STEM-related competition is one of the country's largest and most successful education partnerships involving volunteers, educators, industry sponsors and students. AFCEANs proctored the Massachusetts competitions, graded exams and presented a $250 donation toward a scholarship fund to the top four state students heading to the national competition. The AFCEA team included Michele Cimino, Lynn Demirbas, Alex Swope and Will Keller.
