    SASMO Information Brochure

    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 school and Olympiad maths. This combined effort allows participants to do better than pure-Olympiad papers since they are familiar with some questions and can 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 and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).

    MISSION

    SASMO is a math olympiad contest that stretches not only the brightest students but also instills confidence in all students. This is a perfect opportunity for Canadian students to compete with their counterparts.

     

    The contest is designed to make every student love Math again. The 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 to help Canada become a world leader in science and technology. To achieve this goal, we have partnered with Singapore International Mastery Challenge Center (SIMCC) in Canada. SIMCC is one of Asia's most prominent academic contest organizers 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.

  • 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 multiple charges paid for processing these payments to external organizations, various third parties and financial institutions.


    As a nonprofit organization, CKSTEM operates in a very lean manner with limited resources to keep our operating costs low and make our offerings available at a much lower price 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.
     
    Suppose CKSTEM has wrongly charged any student, or we cancel an event due to reasons under our control and there are refunds provided to us from external organizations. In that case, we will happily refund the fees paid by the students (deducting the processing charges).
