A brief period of uncertainty threatened one of Guyana’s most inspiring educational traditions.

The Blackman-Waddell Summer Math Institute, formerly the  Queen’s College Summer Mathematics Institute, which has challenged and inspired some of the country’s brightest young minds for years, was left without its traditional venue at Queen’s College, casting doubt over whether this year’s programme would proceed.

Rather than allowing that setback to interrupt the Institute, internationally acclaimed mathematicians Dr. Terrence Blackman and Dr. Cleveland Waddell, with the support of STEMGuyana and its Founder and Executive Director Dr. Karen Abrams, worked together to ensure the programme would continue from July 27 to July 31, reaffirming their shared commitment to nurturing Guyana’s next generation of mathematical talent.
