What many feared would become another casualty of bureaucracy has instead become a story of resilience, collaboration and an unwavering commitment to Guyana’s children.

The Blackman-Waddell Summer Math Institute, formerly the  Queen’s College Summer Mathematics Institute, will proceed as scheduled after STEMGuyana Founder and Executive Director Dr. Karen Abrams partnered with internationally respected mathematicians Dr. Terrence Blackman and Dr. Cleveland Waddell to ensure the programme continued despite losing its traditional venue.

Now in its 10th year, the Blackman-Waddell Summer Math Institute will run from Monday, July 27, to Friday, July 31, at St. Rose’s High School, with classes beginning at 9:00 a.m. Students are encouraged to arrive by 8:45 a.m., and lunch will be provided daily. The week-long programme is designed to expose some of Guyana’s brightest young minds to world-class mathematics, challenging them to think beyond the classroom while inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, innovators and problem-solvers.
