This past week, AOA and the Ethiopian Mathematics Professionals Association collaborated to train students for the July PanAfrican math and informatics olympiads in Kigali. 10 AddisCoder alums participated in the informatics training, and six will represent Ethiopia in Kigali.
Very interesting new high school in Rwanda: "The African Olympiad Academy aims to develop nascent Math and Science talent from Africa into engaged, globally-competitive problem solvers with a deep commitment to the continent." 1/

...The professors who taught us were from top universities, and we also had assistance from experienced assistants who studied computer science and had worked in companies like Google.

HMA students' summer activities are still going strong! @AddisCoder is an intensive 4-week summer program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Guest lecturers from schools like MIT and Caltech introduce the basics of Python programming and algorithm design/analysis.

Another one of our AddisCoder students, Abtsega, was accepted to KIIT in India with a full scholarship, but is similarly looking to raise funds for his plane ticket, insurance, and pocket money. If you're inclined to help, here's the link: gofund.me/527dc8f2

One of our AddisCoder alums, Abenezer, was admitted to KIIT in India to study Comp Sci, with a full scholarship worth $60k USD. The scholarship doesn't cover air tickets, medical insurance, and pocket money; you can support him with this GoFundMe: gofund.me/8560201c
