On 24th February 2025, Solve Education! officially kicked off AI Mathathon 2025, a nationwide initiative designed to revolutionize math education in Malaysia. Supported by AWS (Amazon Web Services), this program will run until October 2025, engaging 500 Form 5 students across multiple schools with AI-powered tools, interactive challenges, and expert mentorship.
For many students, math can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be. AI Mathathon 2025 is designed to reduce math anxiety and transform learning into an engaging, confidence-building experience. By blending technology, gamification, and real-world applications, we aim to help students not just understand math but genuinely enjoy it.
A New Era of Math Learning
At Solve Education!, we believe learning should be dynamic, interactive, and accessible to all. AI Mathathon 2025 is more than just a competition—it’s a movement to make math fun and empowering. Through our AI-powered platform, edbot.ai, students will engage in:
- SPM-aligned curriculum – covering essential topics like matrices, consumer mathematics, trigonometry, and mathematical modeling.
- Gamified challenges – including a national-level Math Treasure Hunt that encourages problem-solving and teamwork.
- Expert mentorship – with AWS volunteers, teachers, and university students guiding students through difficult concepts.
- Exciting rewards – from scientific calculators and geometry sets to food vouchers and e-wallet credits, keeping students motivated.
- Hybrid workshops & webinars – featuring SPM examiners and math experts, offering valuable strategies and insights.
The program is expected to engage 500 students nationwide, with 100 students receiving direct mentorship to sharpen their skills ahead of the SPM exams.
