MMMJam

Every day from Sunday, June 6  to Wednesday, June 9, we’ll release a new video at 10 AM EDT on this page exploring a STEM field and math modeling. At the same time we’ll post the daily question and submission page on our website at mmmjam.github.io. After watching the released video and reviewing our additional resources on mmmjam.github.io, you can then choose to submit a 0.5-1 page response to the daily question through the submission form on our website within 24 hours. Participants are welcome to watch any video and try out the associated daily question.

The first 100 submissions in the challenge will be reviewed for their Creativity, Applicability to the Real World, and Clear Explanation. We’ll announce all winners for each day on Saturday at 10 AM.

None of this would be possible without our high school experience at the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science in Worcester, MA, as well as Touch Tomorrow at WPI. To learn more, on Saturday, Mass Academy’s director Mr. Michael Barney will have a Mass Academy information session starting at 11 AM. Please register here and plan to join us!

Please contact us at mmmjam.team@gmail.com, and check out our web page at mmmjam.github.io! Thank you so much for your interest!

MA Academy Info Session
Welcome to MMMJam!
We’ll start off MMMJam with our kickoff on Sunday, June 6th. Tune in to get a taste of what math modeling is and how the Massachusetts Math Modeling Jam will be running! We won’t have a daily question for this one, but hope to show you how pervasive math modeling is in the real world.
Monday, June 7 - Ecology
Today, we’ll delve into Ecology and its impact on the real world! We’ll be taking a math based approach (believe it or not, math is a huge and important part of the field) to answer a real world problem. Then, you’ll try to answer one on your own. Can’t wait to see you there!
Tuesday, June 8 - Transportation
Explore how math modeling is used in planes, cars, and trains! We’ll be learning about how math can be used to improve all aspects of vehicles, and try to make connections based on what we learn. Tuesday’s transportation problem will be available after our workshop. Excited to see you there!
Wednesday, June 9 - Machine Learning
Learn about machine learning/artificial intelligence, computer science, and its impacts on our society! We'll be exploring the intersection of machine learning and math modeling, and try to do some machine learning of our own. Hope we'll see you there!
Saturday, June 12 - AWARDS CEREMONY AND MA ACADEMY INFO SESSION
We’ll end our week with an Awards Ceremony on Saturday morning at 10 AM where we’ll congratulate your incredible work and give out awards for Creativity, Applicability to the Real World, and Clear Explanation. We’ll also have a Mass Academy info session at 11 AM. Both are going to be really exciting!
