The University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus (RUM) took an important step in creating the Girls Math Club of Puerto Rico, a dedicated space for girls to explore and develop their potential in mathematics. Led by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, which has hosted the Puerto Rico Mathematical Olympiads (OMPR) for decades, this club not only seeks to motivate girls to participate more actively in this discipline, but also to open doors to science and engineering.

The organization will collaborate with schools through a curriculum designed to offer practical and theoretical experiences using a portable solar system.

From heavy rains and hurricanes to prolonged droughts and extreme heat, the effects of climate change in Puerto Rico are becoming increasingly evident. For many, these alterations are of great concern, but there is still no study detailing their impact on the mental and emotional health of the island's population.

Faced with this reality, the organization Amigxs del M.A.R. launched “Enraizando ante la Crisis Climática,” a research project aimed at learning about the effects of environmental phenomena and government management on the thoughts, feelings and behavior of residents.

This year, from October 1 to 3, Puerto Rico will host the World Robotics Olympiad (WRO) Regional Championship, a competition that is expected to be attended by teams from more than 20 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

The event, which aims to promote education and innovation in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics), will be held at the Convention Center in San Juan.
