Turing...
Some of you may recognize that name! That's because our math competitions are named after Alan Turing, the esteemed mathematician and computer scientist of the early twentieth century. Often regarded as the father of modern computer science, Turing developed the basis for the first computer. He has greatly impacted the world of science and mathematics as we know it today, so we hold our math competitions in honor of his unparalleled contributions to the modern world!

Competition Information
Our Turing Math-A-Thons are a series of bimonthly, high schooler-led math competitions for young teenagers. The competition math level is recommended for middle school students (grades 7-8), but advanced elementary school students (grades 5-6) are welcome to compete! No prior competition experience or math prerequisite is needed as our tests are comprehensive and full of variety, so they are suitable for students of all levels. Our competitions are fully funded and 100% free to attend, so invite your friends to join you!
Competitions typically place on Saturday mornings at the community room at the Carmel Valley Library.

How long will the competition/test take?
The test itself is pretty short, less than an hour! Right after the test, we will have a quick grading period, roughly 20 minutes. During this time, competitors are free to relax or explore the library. At around 12:00 pm we'll welcome everyone back in (parents included!) for an informal awards ceremony! Everyone should be ready to go home shortly after noon.
Here are some highlights from our previous competitions:
