The 5th Golden Climate Olympiad was held in Mombasa, Kenya, last week and it is with great pleasure that the projects from Hope Academy Rwanda were placed first and third overall.
A total of 160 projects from around 25 countries all over the world entered the Olympiad but were unable to beat the projects from Hope Academy Rwanda students.
The gold medal and first place went to Ishimwe Karimba (Grade 6) and his organic, homemade insecticide derived from pyrethrum, a local flower. Brothers Peter and Patrick Ejiofor (Grades 8 and 6, respectively) were placed in the bronze position with a project on gorilla conservation. Many congratulations to all three students, and all who helped them on the path to success, including their supervisor Mr. Serkan Isik, olympiad coordinator Mr. Royal Qasimov and their parents.
Last year, Hope Kids won a bronze medal in Golden Climate Kenya and a silver in Infomatrix Romania. This year, our students are additionally listed amongst the finalists for GENIUS USA.
Hope Academy Rwanda is now looking forward to Infomatrix in Romania later this month, and GENIUS in the USA in June. We hope to be able to add more medals to our collection and celebrate more students achieving their potential.
