The Smart Cities-Smart Futures Competition encourages open-ended design thinking and concept-generation in order to bring forward the widest range of innovative concepts for enhancing the lives of Wisconsin residents. This initiative is designed to create an avenue for bringing innovative concepts of all types forward and to be a catalyst that helps energize a “smart future.”
It is an opportunity for college students, faculty and staff to bring their innovative ideas to life. This competition offers a platform where people throughout Wisconsin can submit technology-based inventions, software, applications, and ideas and compete for cash prizes, national recognization, employment opportunities and more.

Mathematical Contest in Modeling:
Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM), an international contest for high school students and college undergraduates. It challenges teams of students to clarify, analyze, and propose solutions to open-ended problems. The contest attracts diverse students and faculty advisors from over 900 institutions around the world.
The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), is an extension of the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). It is designed to develop and advance interdisciplinary problem-solving skills as well as competence in written communication.

Student Research League (March-April)
The Student Research League (SRL) is a partnership between college students and Faculty Mentors who are seeking STEM knowledge through an AMATYC approved research program. The Student Research League (SRL) will require AMATYC Faculty Mentors to sponsor a team of one to three mathematics students from their college to participate in addressing a designed research STEM Challenge Problem.
The Student Research League's main goals are:
A) To encourage research problem solving and to motivate an interest in extracurricular mathematics activities, and
B) To reward outstanding student research problem-solvers through a scholarship and prizes to be given to the top participants, both individual and team, in League competition, and to recognize colleges with outstanding mathematics students through national awards.
