AACC Integration Bee
Get ready for fast integrals, friendly competition and a little bit of math-fueled adrenaline.
The AACC Integration Bee is a live, spelling bee–style calculus showdown where students solve integrals under pressure while a crowd cheers them on. Whether you're competing or watching from the audience with a slice of pizza, this event promises energy, challenge and fun.
There is no cost to participate or attend.
How the Competition Works
The Integration Bee takes place over three exciting rounds.
Round One: Written Round
All registered competitors begin together.
Each participant will receive the same integration problem on paper and will solve it individually within a set time limit. This round determines who advances.
It is focused, fast and the gateway to the bracket rounds.
Rounds Two and Three: Bracket Rounds at the Board
After the written round, advancing participants will be placed into brackets.
Competitors will go head-to-head at the board, solving integrals in real time. Problems increase in difficulty as the competition continues. Winners advance through the bracket until the final round determines the champion.
Expect speed, strategy and serious calculus skills.
Audience members are encouraged to solve along from their seats, cheer loudly and enjoy free pizza throughout the event.
