## CEMC stories

Our contests, programs, tools, and resources have a significant impact on students and educators worldwide.

Waterloo Courseware is an absolute gem of a tool! We have been actively using it for two school-years now, and cannot overstate its value. I show literally everyone I can, I recommend it as highly as possible for ALL students in grades 7-12.  It was a godsend during Covid and online learning.
