Mouser Electronics, the NPI leader empowering innovation, proudly announces its continued sponsorship of MATHCOUNTS, an engaging math program for middle schoolers. With nearly 150,000 students from 5,000 schools around the United States, MATHCOUNTS challenges students to learn, discover, and solve mathematical challenges through live competitions at the school, chapter, state, and national levels.
On May 11, 2026, the top four students from each state across the United States will gather in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, to compete in the highest level of math competition. Mathletes compete as state teams of four and as individuals to be named National Champions. The event combines friendly competition, mathematical challenges, and fun.
“Since Mouser’s founding over 60 years ago, we have strived to encourage curiosity and education in young people,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser Senior Vice President of Marketing. “By sponsoring programs like MATHCOUNTS, we hope to plant the seeds in students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).”
More than 25 local schools, comprising approximately 800 students from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, are competing in the MATHCOUNTS Competition Series, the National Math Club, and the Math Video Challenge. Middle schoolers (grades 6–8) receive rigorous math problems to help expand their academic and career opportunities in the future — inspiring them to believe in their own abilities and build self-confidence.
Mouser’s commitment to education runs deep. For many years, the global authorized distributor has been a major sponsor of FIRST Robotics at the local, state, and international levels, supporting robot-building competitions and local teams. Mouser is also a proud sponsor of the Shine Runners Racing Company from the Ben Barber Innovation Academy, a student group that builds and races solar-powered cars in Mouser’s hometown of Mansfield, Texas. The company also donates to the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) Education Foundation by funding STEM grants for teachers to provide engaging opportunities for students.
