Established in 1977 by Dr. George
Lenchner, MOEMS aims to foster mathematical excellence
globally. Contestants are categorized into two divisions. The
Elementary division consists of students from grades 4, 5, and 6,
and the Middle School division consists of students from grades 6,
7, and 8. Featuring a structured evaluation system, the MOEMS
contest presents students with five monthly contests (5 questions
each) bringing the total number of problems to 25. These unique
problem sets must be administered each month from November through
March. In 2024, more than 120,000 students from all around the
world (40 countries) participated, showcasing its enduring
significance and appeal. The competition's format promotes critical
thinking and mathematical creativity, engaging students of all
levels. MOEMS serves as a platform to nurture young mathematical
talent, laying the groundwork for future achievements in
mathematics.
Excited by the achievements of children, CompuChild's
North Austin franchisee and
Program Director Ms. Hiray commented, "I initiated this effort and
encouraged children to participate in the MOEMS contest to spark
their interest in math. It's incredibly fulfilling to see children
excel in the competition. What's even more heartening is to
experience the joy of teamwork that they shared while going through
this year-long experience. Our experienced and dedicated teachers
created a supportive ecosystem and an inquisitive environment which
not only boosted the math skills of our students, but also made
learning STEM subjects like math extremely fun and enjoyable. It's
clear that when children feel supported and motivated, they thrive
and excel together. I am already experiencing the positive effects
of this exciting achievement in the community as more and more
students are approaching us to participate in this
program."
Given the extraordinary performance of the CompuChild team in
the MOEMS contest, 18 of the team members were invited to
participate in the prestigious 2024 Central Texas Math Tournament,
held at the Doss Elementary School in Austin, Texas. These team members participated
in various math tournaments at the individual and team levels.
CompuChild is proud to announce that our students achieved
remarkable success, securing numerous individual awards. At the
team level, following intense tie-breaker rounds, one of our
three teams tied for first place in the tournament.
Talking about this excellent achievement, the President of
CompuChild stated, "At CompuChild, we've always championed the
irreplaceable value of in-person education, particularly for young
learners. Amidst the rise of AI chatbots and automated responses,
it's becoming incrementally hard to determine the true learning
that students are acquiring. In light of this, the importance of
direct student-educator interaction is becoming ever-so-critical.
As a premier STEM franchise, CompuChild is committed to staying at
the forefront of fostering interactive relationships between
educators and learners. We prioritize maintaining low
student-teacher ratios within our in-person classes and have
structured our curricula such that we evaluate the progress and
learning of students during class time. This approach underscores
our commitment to facilitating dynamic and engaging learning
experiences, regardless of the educational setting. The performance
of our students both at the individual and the team level at the
MOEMS is a testament to the diligent work done by our teachers and
program directors who have truly kindled an interest for math in
these young minds."
