  • Problem-Solving session: a chance for students to work familiar problems with unusual twists
  • Lunch: after a morning of workshops and competition, the whole group gathers to eat lunch together
  • A collection of resource materials: intended primarily for teachers
  • Trophies, Prizes and Certificates
  • $100 Award to school teams that present workshops. Teams include at least one teacher and 2 girls
