What inteGIRLS does

INTEGIRLS is a US-incorporated 501(c)-style nonprofit organization that organizes math competitions, puzzle hunts, and review sessions for girls and non-binary students in middle school and high school. Founded in 2019 in Rockville, Maryland, it operates through a network of 30+ teen-led chapters spanning the United States, Europe, Central Asia, and Central America, with participant reach extending to 62 countries and over 8,000 students annually. The organization runs two flagship annual events (Fall and Spring) plus supplemental puzzle hunts and review sessions, all delivered free of charge to participants via both in-person chapter-hosted and virtual global formats.

The underlying technology is a lightweight event coordination and competition management platform that supports virtual math competitions and puzzle hunts; no proprietary AI/ML, patents, or advanced technical assets are disclosed. The organization's value is delivered through a community-led distribution model in which teen volunteers serve as chapter organizers, effectively outsourcing local operations to motivated student leaders, while the central body curates problem content, sponsor relationships, and cross-chapter programming.

INTEGIRLS is funded through donations and corporate sponsorships rather than participant fees, and it monetizes only indirectly through donor relationships. Its go-to-market is community-driven: newsletter, organic social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), an online forum, and earned media coverage (WTOP, SWE All Together, Medium). Strategic partnerships with Society for Science, Society of Women Engineers, Wolfram Alpha, Adobe, Expii, and others provide in-kind support and pipeline visibility into broader STEM competitions.

Broad incumbents

• Khan Academy: Massive free online education platform with significant math content including competition prep resources. Comparable as a free, broadly accessible math learning platform serving overlapping age demographics, though much larger in scale.
• Mathnasium: Large franchised math enrichment tutoring network serving K–12 students. Comparable as a math enrichment provider for school-aged children, though commercial and supplemental-tutoring focused rather than competitive-events focused.
• Art of Problem Solving: Established math education platform offering textbooks, online courses, and a community forum used by competitive math students. Comparable as a math competition prep ecosystem and an existing INTEGIRLS sponsor via Daily Challenge.
• National Girls Collaborative Project: National nonprofit network connecting organizations serving girls in STEM. Comparable as an infrastructure player in the girls-in-STEM ecosystem with overlapping programmatic goals of broadening female participation in science and math.
• Society of Women Engineers (SWE): Established nonprofit supporting women in engineering and STEM through programs, awards, and community. Comparable as a girls/women-in-STEM nonprofit serving overlapping demographics; INTEGIRLS is already a documented core-tier partner of SWE.
• Girls Who Code: Major nonprofit focused on closing the gender gap in technology through clubs, summer programs, and college-loops for girls and non-binary students. Comparable as a girls-in-STEM nonprofit with similar target demographic and broader programming footprint.

Direct peers

• MATHCOUNTS: National middle-school math competition organization running individual and team rounds at local, state, and national levels. Most directly comparable in product format (math competitions for middle schoolers), though not girls-focused.
• Math Prize for Girls: Annual math competition held at MIT exclusively for high-school girls. Closest direct peer given the explicit girls-only competitive math positioning, with comparable participant demographic and event format.
• Math Olympiad for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS): Organization running Olympiad-style math competitions for elementary and middle school students with school-based participation. Comparable in competition format and student demographic, though not gender-focused.

Emerging players

• Brilliant: Online STEM problem-solving platform with interactive courses and daily challenges. Comparable as a digital problem-solving experience targeting curious learners, intersecting with INTEGIRLS's puzzle-hunt and competition-prep offerings.
