MOLE DAY! For all our science minded competitors, we know today is a big day for scientists! 

October 23rd is also known as Mole Day, in honor of Avogadroโ€™s number to calculate moles (6.02x10^23). In the past, science teachers would have students create themed plush moles with scenes using the number as part of the theme, like โ€œThis is Avocado the Mole, who picked 10^23 avocados from his avocado tree to make 6.02 gallons of guacaโ€™moleโ€™ for his birthday party on October 23rd.โ€ with the mole in colors to look like an avocado, right down to the little pit design on its belly. Sadly, this particular mole was lost over the years in moves across the country, but it lives on in memory, much like the memory of what Avogadroโ€™s number is!
Does your science class still do this today? Tell us in the comments! And if you celebrate other math and science themed holidays, share those in the comments below, too!

The National Mathematics Bee is expanding!

Due to the popularity of the National Mathematics Bee debut at the Elementary and Middle School National Championships, International Academic Competitions is proud to announce two paths to Nationals qualification!

The National Qualifying Exam is available online or at regional competitions, but we are now offering a regional level competition for the National Mathematics Bee in select locations. 

No qualifying exam is necessary to compete at this particular regional competition, so students from grades K-8 are welcome to sign up!

To sign up for these after school competitions, visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/registration/#math to sign up for a site near you.

Good luck and we hope you derive much enjoyment from the National Mathematics Bee Regionals!
