The National Math and Science Contest (NMSC) is one of the flagship events hosted by KSEA. The 2023 NMSC was held on Saturday, April 15, 2023. Traditionally, students from 4th grade to 11th-grade students have participated in the onsite exam at their prospective local chapter, but it was changed to an online format during the global pandemic (COVID-19) in 2021. The 2023 NMSC, however, was held in a hybrid (Online and Onsite) format to accommodate more students living in remote areas. About 1,200 students registered for the online and offline math contests to exercise the math skillsets for their future STEM careers. The award ceremony occurred online two weeks later (April 29, 2023) to recognize award winners from each division (4th – 6th lower division; 7th – 11th upper division).
A total of 25 local chapters have participated in the NMSC 2023 via either online or onsite. These chapters include:
Alabama (Online), Arkansas (Online), Austin Texas (Online), Chicagoland (Onsite), Eastern Carolina (Online and Onsite), Georgia (Onsite), Idaho (Onsite), Michigan (Online), Nebraska (Online), New England (Online), New Jersey (Onsite), New York Metro (Onsite), North Carolina (Onsite), North Texas (Onsite), Orlando (Online), Sacramento (Online), Seattle (Onsite), South Texas (Onsite), Southern California (Online), Tampa Bay (Onsite), Texas Coastal Bend (Online), Washington Metro (Online and Onsite), Ohio Dayton (Online).
The 2023 NMSC was very successful and rewarding thanks to the local chapter’s support.
The 2023 NMC National Awards recipients are listed below with their school and residence areas. Congratulations to all!
