Academic Challenge: 2nd place in 2007 and 1st
place in 2006
Our WYSE team participates in the
Academic Challenge at Kaskaskia College in early February. The
Mater Dei team consists of 14 junior varsity members and 14
varsity members. Students prepare by taking practice tests,
which they obtain from the WYSE page on Edline, and reporting
their scores to the moderator. Team members are then chosen by
their test scores.
The Academic Challenge is a competitive
series of tests created and administered by Worldwide Youth in
Science and Engineering and offered to high school students in
Illinois and Missouri. Test material is drawn from senior level
high school curricula and freshman level college curricula.
Written by teams of college and university faculty, subjects
include biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering
graphics, English, mathematics, and physics.
Students can advance both individually
and as a team to the sectional and state competitions, which are
held in March and April respectively.
