Math Collaboration
Thank you to Girls’ Angle and its founder Dr. Ken Fan for creating this fun math collaboration for OMC and for sponsoring it! It was hard but it was worth the satisfaction of figuring it all out. Students had to solve 36 problems to get a secret message with a question/ clue for the final answer- a code that unlocked a virtual door on our computer. After the door was unlocked, all the students received a happy cube puzzle as a prize.
