During the year, the organization hosted large and small events across Oklahoma, reaching thousands of students. We also expanded our online contests, making them more robust to increase participation and broaden statewide engagement. All Oklahoma Challenge events are offered free of charge to schools and students, ensuring accessibility and maximum impact.Expenses $190,505
