Seniors Giovanni Lombardi, Aidan Morrison, Liam McQuade and Andrew Wicks participated in the MathWorks Modelling Challenge.  This real-world application question is unknown to the students until they download it. They then have 14 hours to collaboratively research and propose a solution. 

Their task? To harness their math, research and teamwork skills to analyze temperature trends, predict power demand and identify the populations most at risk. The goal: help governments and communities strategically allocate resources to effectively manage heat waves and avoid power outages.

“These students have demonstrated an impressive level of ambition to challenge themselves by seeking out opportunities where they can apply their academic skills to practical applications,” math teacher Ellen Fraser said.
