The world's most prestigious math competition revealed a powerful truth: elite students reach their potential not through isolation, but through community. AoPS CEO Ben Kornell shares what the International Math Olympiad taught him about why we've always put collaboration over competition.

AoPS has been preparing students for the AI revolution for decades—long before anyone knew artificial intelligence would reshape education and make traditional "box-checking" skills obsolete. While most schools train students to follow predetermined steps and execute formulas—tasks that computers can do far more efficiently—AoPS develops the uniquely human abilities to reason, create, and solve problems that don't have predetermined answers. The question isn't whether AI will change education, but whether your student will be ready to thrive in a world where creative thinking outweighs following instructions.
