BERWYN — For 14 straight hours in early March, a small group of Conestoga High School students came together to participate in an international online math modeling competition. A combination of math smarts and creative thinking has added up to a spot in the finals for the team, whose submission was selected as one of the best solutions to questions around the predicted growth of e-bike use and its impact on society. The students – James Johnson, Evan Lu, Daniel Tu, Vincent Yao, and Evelyn Yu of Berwyn-based Conestoga High School – make up one of the eight finalist teams in MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge (M3 Challenge), a unique competition that drew nearly 3,000 11th and 12th graders in the U.
