SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling

SCUDEM IX 2024 -- 19 October–12 November 2024

Registration Open through 19 October 2024

See complete details at SCUDEM along with all previous problems posed, student results,

and team videos from all past SCUDEM Events.

Please share SCUDEM news with students and colleagues.

FREE MatLab license for registered teams/coaches and tutorial support from MathWorks.

Highlights

• Three-member student teams (high school, home school, and undergraduate) work on one of three model choices in engineering/physics, chemistry/life sciences, or social sciences/humanities and produce a ten minute video of their modeling efforts.
• Many students say participating in SCUDEM is their best undergraduate experience in mathematics and oh so rewarding.
• Registration is $33 USD per student team member.
• Registration is FREE for those residing in developing countries.
• Registered students and coaches receive a FREE license to MathWorks' powerful software MatLab.
• Coach/Mentor Period through 19 October 2024 - Coach and team members work on modeling and presentation skills.
• Challenge Period 19 October - 12 November 2024 – teams work independent of coach to produce and upload 10-minute model presentation video for judging.
• In recent years each team has received on average 8 judge's comment sets - terrific growth and learning feedback..
• Awards:  Outstanding, Meritorious, Successful - Outstanding Award team videos published at SIMIODE  YouTube Channel.
• Great student experience and Curriculum Vita item!
• Opportunity to Mentor/Coach team of bright young students.
• We need volunteer Judges - watch three team videos, enjoy the energy, give feedback, and be a part of something important and meaningful to students. You can Coach and Judge, for we will assign you other teams, not your own.

Watch the Collegial Conversation webinar, conducted by Brian Winkel (Director SIMIODE) and Anthony Stefan (Florida Institute of Technology) for practical advice for Coaches and Student Challengers. The conversation includes helpful links to details, guiding materials, practical advice, discussions, questions, and clarifications to make the SCUDEM experience successful and enjoyable. 

Join us for this remarkable opportunity to experience modeling with differential equations.
