UNL can put together a team for the competition. Interested students should contact Professor Alexandra Seceleanu (aseceleanu@unl.edu) by Friday, September 22nd!
See complete details at SCUDEM and all previous problems posed, student results, and team videos from all past SCUDEM Events.
Highlights
• Three-member student teams (high school, home school, and undergraduate) work on 1 of 3 model choices in engineering/physics, chemistry/life sciences, or social sciences/humanities and produce a ten minute video of their modeling efforts.
• Registration is $33 USD per student team member.
• Registered students and coaches receive a FREE license to MathWorks powerful software MatLab.
• Coach/Mentor Period 24 August – 20 October 2023 - Coach and team members work on modeling and presentation skills.
• Challenge Period 20 October - 13 November 2023 – teams work independent of coach to produce and upload 10-minute model presentation video for judging.
• In recent years each team received on average 8 judge's comment sets - terrific growth and learning feedback.
• Awards: Outstanding, Meritorious, Successful - Outstanding Award team videos published at SIMIODE YouTube Channel.
