Spearheaded by over-all organizers Joel Andrew F. Sollestre and Mark Ian G. Luis, the University of the Philippines Circle of Engineering Students (UP CREST) held its 3rd IMPACT: Inter-High Mathematics and Physics Competition last November 16, 2015 at the College of Education Training Center. This annual Inter-High competition aims to sharpen the students’ aptitude in Mathematics and Physics; areas of knowledge which are both vital in the field of Engineering.

Hosted by Ria Faye Fernandez and Justin Kyle Marasigan, the recent edition of the competition was actively participated by over 11 teams of public and private secondary schools in the National Capital Region (NCR). Following a two-level competition, the participants were challenged with different mathematical problems such as Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Statistics and Physics.

A written exam served as the elimination round, where the organizers selected the top 10 for the last round of the competition: the quiz bee proper. Judging the competition were instructors from the university namely Rolando Perez III and Mark Jayson Celiz, both from the Institute of Mathematics, and Angilo Carigma, an alumnus from the Institute of Civil Engineering.
