Math Prize for Girls Thrives at MIT: Math competitions are nothing new. They’ve taken place for years, but participants have been predominantly boys.
Two years ago Advantage Testing Foundation, the public service arm of Advantage Testing, a private tutorial service dedicated to the highest academic excellence, launched Math Prize for Girls. The competition is designed to inspire girls, create a network of girls with a passion for math and encourage those girls to become mentors for others — particularly girls in underserved communities.
