Our 2023 Spring Competition will happen on Saturday April 8th, 2023!

The contest will take place in-person from 1-5 PM at Oakton College (Des Plaines Campus: 1600 Golf Rd, Des Plaines, IL 60016) on April 8th, 2023, and will be open to girls and nonbinary students comfortable being grouped with girls in high school and below. As before, the competitors will be split into a middle school and high school, with the problems being different for each one. 

During the competition, there will be a 40 minute long individual round, a 30 minute team round, and two 10 minute relay rounds. Students will be competing with a team of 4 students for the team and relay rounds. You can sign up with a team of your friends (who you will need to coordinate with beforehands), or we can place you on a team if you do not have one. You can indicate your team status on the sign up form.  

Since the students will be competing for a long time, we advise all competitors to pack a snack and a water bottle. Additionally, students will not be allowed to use calculators, rulers, protractors, graph paper, or any aids, so each student will only need to bring pencils and erasers for the competition. We will be providing scratch paper.

Contest Day

The competition will be held in room 1606 of Oakton College in Des Plaines (address: 1600 Golf Rd, Des Plaines, IL 60016). For parking, park in Lot C for faculty and staff (the gate should be open), and then enter through door 37. A map of the campus can be found here.
