      OVERVIEW

      Created in 2006, SASMO is one of the largest math contests in Asia. The SASMO Team with the support of the Advisory Council spends countless hours carefully developing contest papers that will touch on both school and Olympiad maths. This combined effort allow participants to do better compared to pure-Olympiad papers, since they are familiar with some questions and are able to put on their thinking caps for others, bringing out the inner mathematician in them.

      With realistic and high standards, SASMO contests aim to stretch the untapped thinking potential of the student population, their participation in SASMO will help them improve in school mathematics as well as higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).

      Mission

      SASMO is a math olympiad contest that stretches not only the brightest students but is aimed at instilling confidence for all students. This is a perfect opportunity for Canadian students to compete with their counterparts.
       
      The contest is designed in a way to make every student love Math again. SASMO contest fits nicely into the school curriculum with a high focus on non-routine problem sums – preparing for the SASMO contest helps students prepare for the higher level exams such as SSAT.
       
      SASMO aims to arouse students’ interest in mathematical problem solving to develop mathematical intuition, reasoning, logic, creativity, and critical thinking.

    • MOTIVATION

      CKSTEM is motivated to prepare Canadian students so that they can help Canada to become a world leader in science and technology. To achieve this goal we have built a partnership with Singapore International Mastery Challenge Center (SIMCC) in Canada. SIMCC is one of the largest academic contests organizers in Asia to groom and identify talent. We are committed to offering more opportunities for all students to gain international recognition through academic competitions. As a result of this new partnership, we will offer several English, Informatics, Mathematics, and Science contests for grades 2 to 12 students. In the coming months, we will be able to provide exciting opportunities to the kids to not only shine locally but to exhibit talent internationally with scholarships and specialized training in science and math as well.

      To continue with this exciting journey, we are offering all our students an opportunity to participate in the SASMO Contest. The top 40% of the participants will receive an award certificate and a medal.  All winners are invited to compete at STEAM AHEAD 2022 – Global Finals.

      A SPECIAL OFFER FOR STUDENTS in GRADES 1-3

      The Competitive Kids STEM (CKSTEM) is joining hands with Singapore's non-profit organization, Scholastic Trust (Singapore) Limited (STS), to provide opportunities to young students in Canada. We are also happy to work with SIMCC, as it donates 20 percent of its annual revenue from academic competitions to STS to support initiatives like this.
       
      We are excited to announce that all schools in Canada can nominate three students, one each from grades 1-3, for free for the SASMO contest.

      Instruction document for parents

      Please download the instruction document. This document contains instructions so that your child may sit for SIMCC competitions from the safety of your home. This is due to the rapidly changing situation regarding Covid-19.  Many teachers and parents have expressed their concern whether contests can be run FAIRLY in a home environment and we have done extensive testing and benchmarking to ENSURE that we run a SECURE and FAIR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION for all contestants.
      Hence we seek your cooperation and support to implement the measures we have put in place to make the contest a FAIR competition for all contestants.  Please advice your child NOT to share the questions with their friends or post them in ANY MEDIA, as this will disadvantage them and will NOT BE FAIR for other contestants. 
      Parents are recommended to test the necessary equipment the day before the contest as students will not be allowed to take part if any of the required equipment is not working.  Thank you for your understanding and support.

    • REFUND POLICY

      The contest fees paid by students to Competitive Kids STEM for hosting competitions are non-refundable. To be allowed to host these contests, our organization pays a fee to the various external organizations that own these competitions. It is a significant amount of time and resource investment, not to mention the various charges paid for processing these payments to the external organizations, various third parties and financial institutions.


      As a nonprofit organization, CKSTEM operates in a very lean manner and limited resources to keep our operating costs low in order to make our offerings available at a much lower cost to the students. Hence, we will not be able to offer any refund for contest fees to students for withdrawals or cancellations beyond our control.
       
      If any student has been wrongly charged by CKSTEM, or we cancel an event due to reasons under our control and there are refunds provided to us from the external organizations, we will happily refund the fees paid by the students (deducting the processing charges).
