Promoting Science Olympiads

Providing access to quality opportunities to young and talented high-school students

Science Olympiads reshaped the way I see the world.

Through OMAPA, an NGO that invested in Science Olympiads when I was in high school, I was lucky enough to receive proper training and a different kind of chance. Several years later, now deep into a PhD, I mentor brilliant students at Jovenes Talentos — a program that introduces high-schoolers to critical thinking and college-level mathematics. The goal is simple: give them what I was given. If you have ideas to promote these kinds of initiatives, reach out.
