In our increasingly technological society, those students who do not begin developing strong problem-solving, logical thinking and analytical abilities in middle school will face an uphill battle later in life if they wish to pursue a medical, scientific, mathematical, engineering or technical career. As a national math enrichment, coaching and competition program designed to improve math skills among U.S. students, MATHCOUNTS prepares students for future career opportunities and success. More than 6 million students across the U.S. have participated in the MATHCOUNTS program.
Local sponsors contributing $500 or more include Stantec, Lumos & Associates, AMEC, American Public Works Association, CME, Harris & Associates, NV Energy, and Western Nevada Supply.
