[TheMathLeague] FW: [Teachers' Net] 2016 Breakthrough Junior Challenge

[Klein, Bob]

Please see the following for an exciting opportunity.

Also we will have our first Math League this Saturday at 10AM at the Community Center. Parents please check in as we will ask you to review and potentially update your emergency contact forms for this year.

Our meeting locations are a bit odd this year so please check http://themathleague.weebly.com/ for details about the schedule (it has been updated).

On Saturday we will be examining the game 20Q (twenty questions) for the underlying algorithm. If you and your child wish to get a sense of how to play the artificial intelligence version, go to http://20q.net/ and give it a go!

Best regards,
Bob

The 2016 Breakthrough Junior Challenge<http://www.breakthroughjuniorchallenge.org/> is an annual, global competition for students, designed to inspire creative thinking about science. Students aged 13-18, from countries across the globe are invited to create and submit an original video (5 minutes max) that brings to life a concept or theory in the life sciences, physics, or mathematics. The submissions are judged on the student’s ability to communicate complex scientific ideas in the most engaging, illuminating, and imaginative ways.

One winner is recognized every year and awarded a $250,000 college scholarship. The teacher who inspired the winning student receives a $50,000 prize. The winner’s school also receives a state-of-the art science lab valued at $100,000.
