A group of high school students in Rockville, Maryland, have taken their love for math to the next level.
Richard Montgomery High School students Alexander Karbowski, Jerry Shen, Danesh Sivakumar, Tony Wu, and Junzhi Xie entered an international competition focused on using math to solve real-world problems.
The challenge was to use math to find a solution to making internet accessible to all.
And if that seemed a little too easy: The team only had 14 hours to do it virtually.
“For me, [it] opened my mind to how many different ways math can be used beyond just looking at formulas,” said Richard Montgomery senior Shen.
