Waterloo Fryer/ Galois / Hypatia / Euclid

CEMC contests are designed for Grades 5 to 12. CEMC contests are a great fit for students with a range of abilities—from learners who want to explore math and computer science and develop their confidence, to advanced students who want to stretch their limits.

The Fryer, Galois and Hypatia (FGH) Contests are a unique opportunity for participants to write a full-solution contest — a format that can help learners develop both problem-solving and communication skills. These fun and engaging contests encourage critical thinking as participants tackle problems that build to a larger, more complex task to solve in each question.
