MATH PENTATHLON AND STEM

Growth of the Mathematics Pentathlon Program

with the US2020 Project continued throughout the 2015-16 School Year and it was again considered one of Tech Point Foundation's most popular mentoring programs. For the 2016-17 School Year and beyond, Tech Point Foundation is trying to better support the Mathematics Pentathlon Program and it's growth. They are pursuing this goal by helping to finance the Pentathlon Institute's efforts in creating videos that assist in the teaching of the games for their US2020 mentors and other Mathematics Pentathlon Program Coaches.

ALEX'S INSPIRATION

This past 2015-16 School Year a former Pentathlete, Alex Blanchet, a sophomore at Notre Dame High School in Rochester, Michigan, volunteered to implement the Math Pentathlon Program at Will Rogers Elementary School in the Pontiac, Michigan Public School District. Alex loves math and his own 6 year experience with the MP Program when he was in elementary school. Based on this he wanted to help others who were less fortunate and to inspire 1st grade students to also love math. Alex was able to bring some of these students to a Division 1 Tournament in the Michigan-Ohio Center this past Spring. He also plans on working with students using the Math Pentathlon Program during the 2016-17 School Year. see Alex's full story here....
