High Technology High School Claims First Place at Moody's Mega Math Challenge
Moody's Mega Math (M3) Challenge is an applied mathematics modeling contest for high school students in the New York, Boston and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. It is sponsored by The Moody's Foundation based in New York City and organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) based in Philadelphia. The M3 Challenge awards $65,000 in scholarship prizes each year to the top teams. This year High Technology High School's team won first prize, and a scholarship of $20,000. High school juniors and seniors presented their solutions and justified their conclusions in 15-minute presentations on Wednesday, April 30, at Moody's Corporation headquarters in Manhattan, before being awarded scholarship prizes ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 for their efforts. High Tech's Team concluded that, in addition to the negative economic and environmental implications of replacing gasoline with ethanol, the plan would not be cost effective until oil prices reached over $233 per barrel. They also found that corn-derived ethanol is not the best alternative form of energy, suggesting that nuclear power may actually be a better alternative for attaining national energy independence.
