Speed Turn Elementary
Math Contest

Speed Turn Elementary Math Contest (STEMC) is a free, school-based competition aimed to foster interest in mathematics in students between grades 1-6. Registration is done by the participant's school, although individual participants are also welcome. The contest itself will be written by students during school hours in March. There will be an in-person awards ceremony for top scorers in May.

Registration for our 4th annual contest is open! You can access school registration here and individual registration here.

STEMC 1st Annual Contest Westmount Charter School Elementary Winners

The first annual Speed-Turn Elementary Math Contest was held in the Spring of 2022. There were over 500 registered participants with $1000 in sponsorship from the University of Calgary. Unfortunately, we were unable to host a large in-person awards ceremony last year due to Covid-19 and other complications. However, we did hand out awards to all award winners within their schools.

We would like to thank the University of Calgary for their generous sponsorship which allowed STEMC to happen.
