Congratulations to the Students I Coached for the 2023 SCUDEM Mathematical Modeling Challenge!

Last fall I had the honor of coaching six teams of three students (18 students in total) so they could compete in the 2023 SCUDEM challenge. This challenge is hosted by SIMIODE, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit, open community of teachers and learners using modeling first to teach and learn differential equations in an original way.

All of the students I coached were Georgia High School students who were enrolled in a Georgia Tech Dual Enrollment program (Distance Math). Each team completes the challenge by submitting a link to an unlisted video on YouTube, which then gets reviewed by at least 3 judges (usually more than 3).

One of my teams in particular did extremely well and won an Outstanding Certificate, which is the highest honor possible. The teams that reach this level have their submissions added to the official SIMIODE YouTube site. Their full presentation is here, and an image from their presentation is above.

Congratulations to all of my teams! It was an honor being able to coach such talented and engaged students!
