The festival featured a diverse programme, including a Mathematics Olympiad, engaging lectures for adults, and an interactive game zone for families.
A major highlight was the Math Olympiad, which saw the participation of 150 students from 25 schools across Cyprus, aged 6 to 18. The competition highlighted the remarkable talent of students, with the best-performing competitors earning a mention on the official MathFest website. In recognition of excellence, Trinity Private School will offer grants to outstanding participants, further supporting their academic journey.
The Olympiad was honoured by the presence of distinguished guests, Dr. Demetres Christofides and Dr. Gregoris Makrides, leading experts in mathematics education. Dr. Makrides, President of the Cyprus Mathematical Society, has contributed significantly to advancing mathematics education through international projects. Dr. Christofides, an Associate Professor at UCLan Cyprus, specializes in combinatorics and has made notable contributions to mathematical research. Both praised the event's organisation and inspiring atmosphere.
The festival also featured a series of insightful lectures and seminars, including Zhenya Katz's session on "Mathematical Games for the Whole Family", highlighting how games enhance relationships, develop essential skills, and inspire a love for mathematics. Nikolai Maslov discussed "Mathematical Olympiads in Cyprus", detailing their benefits, unique features, and accessible participation formats. Alexander Avdyushenko explored "Trends in Modern IT and Career Prospects".
As an advocate of academic excellence and international collaboration, Trinity Private School remains open to partnerships and collaborations aimed at elevating standards in education and fostering intellectual growth.
