SUMMARY:Hardest Math Problem Contest
DESCRIPTION:Contest window: Sep 14 – Dec 6\, 2026 (5:00 pm ET). This calendar date is the submission deadline. \nThe Hardest Math Problem Contest (HMP) is an annual competition presented by The Actuarial Foundation\, the Institute of Competition Sciences\, and the New York Life Foundation that challenges students in grades 5-8 to solve multistep\, grade-appropriate math problems with real-world situations. This contest is unique in that it is not a time-based math competition (students work on the Contest problems at their own pace) and engages students in critical thinking and problem solving AND requires them to employ effective communication skills in writing up their reasoning in how they arrive at their solution. The 2026-27 HMP theme is centered on the theme of keystone species and ways to mitigate risks that face keystone species and their habitats. These cross-curricular problems provide opportunities for collaboration between math\, science\, and ELA classrooms and the real-world connections provide unique context for the variety of ways that math is used across a variety of careers (STEM or others!). \nThis competition is FREE and open to all 5th-8th grade students attending school in the US (public\, private\, charter\, and homeschool). Students can win up to $3\,000 towards college and a laptop! An adult needs to serve as a coach for point of contact (teacher\, parent\, or other invested adult; no mathematical expertise is needed). While students complete the current Contest problem(s) individually on their own time\, collaborative practice with the many free resources and past problems (answer keys and worked-out solutions included!) is encouraged. The name of the Contest is the “Hardest Math Problem”\, but what we actually encourage is that students “TRY THEIR Hardest…” as they build grit and resilience in tackling grade-level appropriate problems in the real world. \nLearn more about the Hardest Math Problem Contest: https://www.hardestmathproblem.org/

SUMMARY:2027 OSLN STEM Education Grant Program: Informational Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) for an informational session about the 2027 OSLN STEM Education Grant Program\, funded by Battelle. This one-hour webinar walks schools through the program’s new systems-level approach\, the three grant tracks\, eligibility\, and how to apply. \nThe program supports Ohio schools in expanding and sustaining high-quality STEM learning. For the 2027 round\, awards shift to a systems-level approach\, helping schools scale impactful STEM practices and evolve into hubs of interdisciplinary\, career-connected teaching and learning. \nGrant tracks: \n\nIgnite STEM ($10\,000): For schools beginning their STEM journey. Not open to currently designated Ohio STEM or STEAM schools.\nStrengthen STEM ($15\,000): For schools building on existing STEM efforts.\nInnovate STEM ($15\,000): For schools with established STEM systems.\n\nPublic Ohio schools (public\, community/charter\, or independent STEM schools) are eligible. Applications open February 2\, 2027 and close March 29\, 2027. \nRegister on Zoom to attend. For more information\, contact OSLN@battelle.org.

SUMMARY:AI as a Thought Partner: Designing High-Quality PBL; West Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Turn AI into your instructional design partner. Project-Based Learning (PBL) engages students in authentic problem solving—but designing strong projects can take hours of planning. In this hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to use AI tools to design powerful\, standards-aligned PBL units in a fraction of the time. Buck Institute’s PBLWorks framework and Xcite Learning’s PBL Model will be used to build your PBL units. \nThis is a 3-day mini-series (FREE): \n\nDay 1: PBL Unit Design\nDay 2: PBL Assessment and Student Resources Creation\nDay 3: Share Out\, Celebration\, and Revision of PBL Implementation\n\nWest Cohort dates (9:00 am – 3:30 pm): September 21\, 2026 · October 13\, 2026 · May 6\, 2027 \nCEUs available: 20 hours (2 hours of after-workshop design/refine time). Graduate Credit Option: 3 Graduate Credit Hours through Ashland University.
