230 Young Math Enthusiasts Welcomed to UAS Technikum Wien for the 2025 M³ Competition
09 July, 2025
Around 230 students from three federal states demonstrated their mathematical skills in the m³ competition at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. Working in teams of three, they mastered tricky tasks without any digital aids – with enthusiasm, team spirit, and brains.
On June 14, 2025, UAS Technikum Wien became a stage for young math talents: We hosted the m³ competition, an exciting team competition for students aged 11 to 14, organized by the University of Vienna as part of the “Mathematik macht Freude” (Math is Fun) project. This year, a total of 230 motivated students from Vienna, Lower Austria, and Burgenland competed against each other in teams of three.
Within 90 minutes, the teams faced a varied marathon of tasks that required quick thinking and good teamwork.
m³ competition shows that math doesn’t have to be boring
Every year, the m³ competition shows that math doesn’t have to be dry or boring. Instead, it creates a lively atmosphere where arithmetic, logical thinking, and solving exciting problems together take center stage. No digital aids are used—just full concentration and the joy of tinkering.
A goodie bag rounded off the experience for all participants. We are delighted to have been part of this fantastic initiative!
