BAE Systems, Inc. has deepened its partnership with the
MATHCOUNTS Foundation, signing on to be the 2022-2023 Lead Sponsor
of the Northeast Region. Coupled with its sponsorship of the
Foundation’s project celebrating Engineers Week, BAE Systems will
invest nearly $400,000 total to support the MATHCOUNTS mission of
improving attitudes about math and problem solving for middle
school students.
“We’re excited to grow this partnership to reach students across
the Northeast Region,” said Cortney Miller, director of community
investment for BAE Systems, Inc. “MATHCOUNTS recognizes the
importance of investing in and developing the pipeline of talent
today that will lead our industry and many others tomorrow.”
BAE Systems will support MATHCOUNTS Competition Series
programming in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. This regional grant
will cover a variety of expenses for students in the Northeast,
including math content creation, states’ national competitor
participation, and subsidies for low-income schools. In addition,
MATHCOUNTS volunteer coordinators in these eight states will
receive funding to help offset expenses related to their state and
local events taking place in February and March 2023.
“We are absolutely thrilled to expand our partnership with BAE
Systems,” said Kristen Chandler, executive director of the
MATHCOUNTS Foundation. “Their investment in our program will be
transformative. We’re excited to put this funding toward meaningful
initiatives and programs that will help even more students in the
Northeast build the problem-solving skills they need for
success.”
Since 2020, BAE Systems has sponsored an initiative to celebrate
Engineers Week. Again in 2023, MATHCOUNTS will share special
problem sets that highlight the real-world applications of math and
expose students to engineering careers and concepts.
