Eight Darien High School girls divided into two teams entered the first ever “Girls in Math” event Saturday, which featured math competitions plus advice from a college professor on entering a math- or science-related field. Participation in the event, which took place at Yale University, was sponsored by the DHS chapter of the Mu Alpha Theta national math honor society. “This was a great opportunity for our female math students to learn more about what it is like to work in STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] fields from other girls and women those currently in those fields,” said Matt Buchta, DHS Math Teacher and Mu Alpha Theta club advisor.  

The day included a math competition that had an individual and team component. Schools were allowed to send a maximum of two teams of four, and Darien fielded a full complement.
