High School Math: Congratulations on IMMC 2026 Awards

May 8, 2026

In the 12th International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IM2C 2026), students from SHSID High School achieved outstanding results: 1 International Grand Prize, 2 Meritorious Awards, and 1 First Prize; as well as 1 Grand Prize, 5 Meritorious Awards, and 5 First Prizes in the Chinese Mainland Regional Round.


The IM2C Mainland Regional Round is both a highly anticipated independent competition in the Chinese region and an important selection pathway for the International Round. It emphasizes the deep integration of mathematics, technology, and engineering, as well as the real-world application of mathematics in social production and daily life. The 2026 Mainland Regional problem, "Save Money, Save the Earth," focused on balancing economic and environmental concerns; the International problem, "Protecting Wildlife at Scale," addressed the challenges of large-scale ecological conservation. These problems comprehensively tested students’ innovative thinking and practical skills, inspiring their sense of responsibility to address real-world issues through mathematical modeling.


In this year’s competition, teams from SHSID High School demonstrated exceptional talent and teamwork within the limited competition time. Particularly noteworthy: A team composed of 9th-grade students Caitlin and Sunny, based on quantifying the effectiveness of conservation in Etosha National Park, formulating resource allocation strategies, and validating model practicality, won the International Grand Prize with an outstanding paper and defense. Another team, consisting of 10th-grade students Emily and Chloe and 11th-grade students Brian and Jenny, not only quantified the net carbon emission reduction contribution under a discount retail model but also innovatively introduced the concept of "blind boxes." With this unique perspective, they won the Grand Prize in the Mainland Regional Round.





These achievements highlight the students’ solid foundation in STEM fields and their concern for real-world issues, and they also serve as a strong affirmation of the STEM education model at SHSID. We extend our warmest congratulations to all the award-winning teams! SHSID High School will continue to explore new interdisciplinary teaching models, providing a broader platform and stronger support for students' holistic development.
