MCP MathWorks Team

A big shout-out to the two Mission College Prep MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge teams. These dedicated students spent 14 continuous hours on Saturday, March 2nd, or on Sunday, March 3rd digging into this year’s challenge of creating a mathematical model to understand how the housing shortage and homeless populations are intertwined crises from a long-term perspective. The two crises are exacerbated by unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and economic downturns. Their models are designed to help governments make plans not just for the next several years, but for the next several decades. The groups worked with data for Seattle, WA, and Albuquerque, NM.

This year’s teams were:
Seniors - Evan Collier, Bella Graza, Isa Rosales, Neill Safreno, Ava Szytel
Juniors - Matt Daniels, Jake Long, Bruno Monroe, Serena Mu
