Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to introduce our first high-school Take AIM (Analytics, Innovation, and Mathematics) Competition<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.informs-k12.com%2Ftake-aim-competition&data=05%7C02%7Ciefac.list%40mailman.clemson.edu%7Cb781eab1eb1c46bc6f7c08ddeee50dd3%7C0c9bf8f6ccad4b87818d49026938aa97%7C0%7C0%7C638929389777442304%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=T6XQWm%2BxNa7Al4B94ifNzE1J1FxVKepKKz0TruMNMpU%3D&reserved=0>! This online event,  hosted by the INFORMS K-12 Education Outreach Committee, invites high school student teams, guided by academic advisors, to tackle a real-world problem in operations research, mathematical optimization, and algorithms. This year, teams will use the Burrito Optimization Game as the basis for designing effective decision strategies and showcasing the power of analytics. The competition is designed to foster community, collaboration, and friendly rivalry. Top submissions will earn monetary prizes and certificates.

Please help us spread the word — share the attached flyer with your networks and high school contacts today! Even a quick mention in your classes could encourage students to forward it to their former schools. Together, we can reach as many high schoolers as possible!

All the best,

Ana

On behalf of the INFORMS K-12 Education Outreach Committee
