NMSC 2020 CANCELLED

The Harvey Mudd Campus and the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association are cancelling the NMSC this year due to COVID19 concerns. The health and well-being of our students and community is the highest concern, and we look to next year to run the event.

DO I NEED TO BE KOREAN-AMERICAN TO PARTICIPATE?

No! The event is open to all students grades 4th through 12th (12th grade is physics exam only).

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE EXAM?

The exam will be a combination of the things you learn in school, and math competition problems, like puzzles. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you try the test problems at https://nmsc.ksea.org/information.php to practice and get an understanding of what the event will be like.
