The Acton-Boxborough Math Competition (ABMC) is a mathematics competition run by students at the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in Acton, Massachusetts. Their sponsors include Dropbox, AoPS, Texas Instruments, and WolframAlpha.
ABMC was founded in 2017 by a group of high school students from Acton, MA to foster critical-thinking skills and a love for STEM among middle and elementary school students through exciting academic events and accessible educational resources.
They run three monthly online contests for individuals in the fall. In these contests, participants have nearly a full weekend to complete 15 problems. Prizes are awarded to high-scoring participants. Some prizes are given to the highest-scoring participants in each grade.
In the spring, they hold an annual in-person team competition at the Raymond J. Grey Junior High School in Acton, MA, consisting of two individual rounds, and team rounds. Prizes are awarded to high-scoring teams and individuals, and some prizes are given to high-scoring individuals in each grade. There are also raffle prizes for students in each grade. ABMC drew hundreds of participants in 2023. They have also had well-known guests such as WolframAlpha founder Stephen Wolfram in 2023 speak live at their events.
