Modeling the Future Challenge – High School Math Competition

The Modeling the Future Challenge is an actuarial math modeling and data analysis competition for high school students. To compete, students analyze real-world data to project future trends and make recommendations to help mitigate risks.

Judging Committee

Review submissions to determine who will move to the final stage of the competition and/or judge final presentations.

Time Commitment: Round 1 judging will take place in March with judges scoring approximately 6-8 papers. Round 1 judging will take approximately 8-10 hours of judging. Finalist judging will take place in April/May with varied time commitment depending on number of judging sessions attended (roughly 2-3 hours per team/session - spots are limited).

Mentorship

Use your expertise to help a team develop an actuarial report and presentation. You will have 2 virtual discussions to go over their outline and paper and answer any questions they may have.

Time commitment: 1 virtual meeting with each of your teams in January and 1 virtual meeting in February, with an optional meeting in late February to review their final paper. Each meeting lasts up to 1 hour and up to 1 hour of prep time is expected before each meeting. You can expect to spend up to 3 hours per each team that you choose to mentor.
