Our Story

Creating UnforgettableLearning Experiences

challenge ME was co-founded by Carla Stevens and Robert Shanley. At challenge ME, we believe that education should be more than just textbooks and tests. It should be a journey of discovery, growth, and meaningful connection.

Our championship is designed to push students beyond their perceived limits, fostering critical thinking and collaboration in a high-energy, supportive environment. We bring schools together from across the globe to celebrate mathematical excellence and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Our Mission

We understand the importance of Mathematics in every student's academic journey. Yet, conventional education confines this subject to the classroom, missing out on the enrichment experienced in other subjects like music, drama, and sports. While students excel in competitive and celebratory settings beyond the classroom, such opportunities are scarce in the field of Mathematics.

Our mission is to redefine students experience within Maths by providing students with engaging and exciting experiences beyond the status quo. We believe that true educational enrichment encompasses both classroom instruction and real-world experiences. challenge ME was founded to bridge this gap, offering students the opportunity to not only celebrate their mathematical prowess but also to compete, collaborate, and grow.
