About Us

The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) is the largest outreach organization of its kind in Canada and our mission is to increase interest, enjoyment, confidence, and ability in mathematics and computer science among learners and educators in Canada and internationally. We do this through a commitment to our core values: future readiness, access, community and impact. 

Housed in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, the CEMC includes more than 40 dedicated faculty and staff members, and hundreds of committed volunteers with a passion for education and for making mathematics and computer science learning available to students and educators worldwide.



Our Contests

Mathematics and computing contests are a fun way for students to grow their problem-solving skills, build confidence and get creative with math and computer science. Designed by teams of expert mathematicians and educators for Grades 5 to 12, CEMC contests are a great fit for students across a range of abilities—from learners who want to explore math and computer science and develop their confidence to advanced students who want to stretch their limits.
