The Ekal 2020 Online Math Bee was held December 18-20, 2020. Over the 3 day period, over 325 participants out of 375 registrants took the competition. Of these, there were test-takers from India, the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Hong Kong, and more. About $2000 were raised for Ekal Vidyalaya thanks to all of the kind participants and donors! This equates to funding over 5 Ekal Vidyalaya schools, educating 150 children, for a year.
The competition consisted of 2 rounds, a 20 minute Speed Round with 15 questions and a 40 minute Challenge Round with 10 questions. There were 4 levels of examination, one for grades 1-2, one for grades 3-5, one for grades 6-8, and one for grades 9-10. The problems were challenging, but all the participants did very well. Every participant received a certificate of participation, and the top 3 scorers of each grade were given gift cards. December 18-19 was the USA/Canada/Europe/Australia session while December 20 was the India session. Prizes for each session were given separately. The Ekal Math Bee Archive, containing problems and solutions from the 2017, 2018, and 2020 bees can be found here. The top scorers for the December 18-19 session are listed here.

All proceeds were donated to EKAL causes in India: providing tablets and modern technology to kids in rural India.
