On November 1, 2025, eleven Taylor students competed in the Michigan Autumn Take Home Challenge (“MATH Challenge”), an annual math competition in which teams of three from different colleges in and around the state of Michigan work together to solve difficult problems. Congratulations to all eleven of our students for participating in the 2025 MATH Challenge; this kind of competition takes persistence, dedication, and endurance!
In total there were twenty-eight teams representing fifteen different colleges and universities. Four of the teams were from Taylor, and two of Taylor’s teams placed in the top ten overall!
Special congratulations to Taylor team #1 (Will Forbes, Kyle Dagman) who scored third place overall (as sophomores and without a third team member!), and to Taylor team #2 (Ethan Elliott, Daniel Bishop, Kelden Wright) who tied for ninth place overall. Great job!
