Our Story
We’ve both been participating in math competitions for several years, and one of the main problems we noticed is that there aren’t many local opportunities for students to compete. Instead, students often have to drive for hours, taking up an entire day. For students who aren’t very invested in math, this is a big commitment that many are unwilling to make. For this reason, we decided to host WRMT, giving students access to a friendly, local competition without the hassle of long travel.
Our Mission
We created WRMT to nurture the next generation of young math competitors. We want students to enjoy doing math and not see it as just another school subject, and we hope to build a welcoming math community in Westchester. Our tests are designed so that any middle schooler can take the competition with no prior experience, while still giving seasoned competitors a real challenge. We hope that students who try WRMT will go on to take part in more math competitions.
Who We Are
WRMT was founded by Alwin Jing and Hugh Leung, two high school students at Edgemont Junior-Senior High School. Both of us have competed in math competitions for years, including with our local math circle, WAMC. This is our first year running WRMT, and we’re excited to share it with students in our community.
Our Partners
We’re grateful to WAMC, our local math circle, for helping us promote WRMT and find proctors. Thank you also to Edgemont Junior-Senior High School for hosting us, and to our sponsors.
