On February 4th, Penn State Harrisburg hosted students from 16 area schools for the 28th annual MATHCOUNTS competition. The competition is part of a nationwide program that each year challenges more than 500,000 sixth, seventh, and eight-grade students. MATHCOUNTS builds mathematics skills, promotes strategic problem solving, and instructs students in dealing with complex problems. The regional event is administered by the Harrisburg Chapter of the Society of Professional Engineers, and spurs interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related careers.
