The Connetquot High School mathematics department is proud to announce that four of its juniors, Declan Doran, Madison Holzmacher, Michael Ibraham and Elaine Wang, took on the challenge of solving complex real-world problems as part of the prestigious MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, also known as the M3 Challenge.

The competition tasks students with using mathematical modeling to address real issues facing the world today. This year’s topic was, “Staying Cool as the World Heats Up”. Though their submission did not advance to the final round or earn a formal award, the students received thoughtful and encouraging feedback from the judges, a testament to their effort, creativity and analytical thinking.

“These students went all in with just a little bit of independent preparation,” said team adviser Mr. Dolce. “They worked hard, supported each other and showed incredible perseverance. I am just so proud of them. They absolutely deserve every bit of praise coming their way.”

The M3 Challenge, sponsored by MathWorks and organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, is a highly respected competition that attracts thousands of high school students nationwide each year. Participants must work in teams under time pressure to come up with viable mathematical solutions to problems.

Congratulations to Declan, Elaine, Madison and Michael for stepping up to the challenge and representing Connetquot High School with excellence!
