Queen’s College two weeks Math camp is back

Jul 25, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – After a two year hiatus as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Queen’s College of Guyana Alumni Association (NY), Inc. (“QCAANY”) will be hosting its fifth Queen’s College Summer Math Institute (“QCSMI”) for two weeks.

The camp which already began on July 18 at Queen’s College in Georgetown is expected to conclude on July 29, 2022. QCSMI usually runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with daily lunch and snacks, T-Shirts and other giveaways provided at no cost to the participating students.

The targeted group of this enrichment programme is that of grades nine and ten students from Queen’s College, Bishops’ High School, St. Rose’s High School, Richard Ishmael Secondary School, Tutorial High School and Saint Stanislaus College.

This year, the programme is led by mathematician, Dr. Cleveland Waddell, Queen’s College alumnus and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from North Carolina State University. Dr. Waddell will be supported by Mr. John Campbell, President of QCAANY; Shifiera Surujballi, a member of QCAANY; Ms. Ede Tyrell, Queen’s College alumna and University of Guyana lecturer who specializes in Microbiology in the Department of Medical Technology of the Faculty of Health Sciences; Ms. Dianne Henry, Queen’s College teacher; and other Queen’s College friends and supporters.

QCAANY in a release stated that the aim of this programme is to sustainably implement a developmentally appropriate and culturally resonant middle school learning environment that engages Guyanese students in a cognitively rich mathematics learning experience that affirms and aligns with their cultural and social identities and places them securely on pathways to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) excellence.

Also part of the camp is a number of field trips planned as complementary activities that are integral to the QCSMI’s experience. Among these are trips to the Schlumberger Company, an Oil & Gas company, The National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute and Demerara Distilleries Limited, the release stated.

This year’s programme, the institute said, is made possible through generous sponsorships from alumnus Dr. Edris Kamal Dookie and family, Metallica Commodities Corporation, Rambaire LLC., and friends of Queen’s College.
