The OWLympiad Math Competition is an opportunity to engage local high school students and expose them to Actuarial Science as a career choice.

The competition will consist of a 50 minute, multiple choice exam, a “24” Math Card Game Competition, and a quiz style lightning round. The exam will test topics ranging from basic algebra to calculus and statistics and is to be completed as a team. All teams are expected to stay for the entirety of the event. Pizza and refreshments will be provided for lunch and, all participants will receive a 2018 OWLympiad T-Shirt!

Testimonials“Every year I look forward to attending the Temple OWLympiad. It is a great experience for our students to compete with some of the best and brightest from the region. The format is interesting and it allows for our students to meet some of their peers from other great schools in the area. The event also showcases some of the career opportunities available to math students.”
- Kevin Farrow Eastern Regional HS The OWLympiad is one of my favorite annual field trips. The kids are presented a fun challenge and always look forward to going. As a teacher I find the tour informative to come back and tell other students about all the renovations and progress Temple is making. As an alumni of Temple, I really enjoy the entire program and love to see what’s new on campus. I am definitely attending this every year. - Nick Solomon Lower Moreland School District My students really enjoyed the 24 Game during lunch because they were able to meet students from other schools. The format and setup of the actual competition was also well-organized and easy to understand for new participants. We look forward to the chance to compete again! -Vince Russo Conestoga High School |
