Mouser Supports MATHCOUNTS for Future Engineers
May 7, 2024
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader empowering innovation, today proudly announces its continued sponsorship of MATHCOUNTS, an engaging math program for middle schoolers. With nearly 150,000 students from 5,000 schools around the United States, MATHCOUNTS challenges students to learn, discover and solve mathematical challenges through live competitions at the school, chapter, state and national levels.
On May 12 and 13, the top four students from each state across the United States will gather in Washington, D.C., to compete in the highest level of math competition. Mathletes compete as state teams of four and as individuals to be named National Champions. The event combines friendly competition and fun.
“We have strived to encourage innovation and education in youth since our humble beginnings 60 years ago,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser Senior Vice President of Marketing. “By sponsoring STEM programs like MATHCOUNTS, we hope to instill a passion for science, technology, engineering or math in our future mathematicians, engineers and problem solvers.”
MATHCOUNTS begins in the Fall, where students across the country compete. The middle schoolers (grades 6–8) receive rigorous math problems to help expand their academic and career opportunities in the future — inspiring students to believe in their own abilities while building self-confidence.
Mouser’s commitment to education runs deep. For many years, the global authorized distributor has been a major sponsor of FIRST® Robotics at the local, state and international levels by supporting the robot-building competitions and local teams.
