Mathematical Modeling for Heatwave Prediction and Resource Allocation - M3 Challenge Presentation

Watch the championship presentation by William Mason High School (Team #18111) from Mason, Ohio, who won the 2025 MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge. Discover how this talented team used mathematical modeling to predict temperature changes during heatwaves and developed resource allocation plans to minimize the effects of heat waves and power grid failures. The presentation showcases the work that earned them the top spot among 794 teams comprising over 3,600 students. Learn about the prestigious M3 Challenge competition organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and sponsored by MathWorks, which awards over $100,000 in scholarships to top teams in the U.S. and U.K. and has awarded more than $1.85 million in scholarships to date. This 23-minute video highlights how high school students apply advanced mathematical concepts to solve real-world problems, inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals.
