A mathematics competition, the Math Mania Game Show Challenge is packed with buzzers, loads of fun and exciting prizes. It’s just one of several fun events at central Ohio’s Learning Rocks. The third annual event also features a 5K run, pancake breakfast, college-preparation assistance, drawing contests, spelling bees, and other competitions.

Toward that goal, the nonprofit organization I Know I Can, which works with Columbus school-district students, will put on a financial-aid overview at 1:30 p.m. I Know I Can advisers will help any Columbus school-district students fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (commonly known as FAFSA), the form required to be eligible for federal assistance.
