Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI) hosts from December 26 to 29, 2024, the second edition of the Moroccan Tournament of Young Mathematicians (MTYM).
This event, organized in partnership with “Math Maroc”, brings together the country’s young talents around a unique competition, promoting science and mathematics as drivers of innovation and equal opportunities.
The MTYM is much more than just a math competition. For three months, the participants, from high schools across Morocco, work in teams on complex mathematical problems, according to the university.
During the final which will take place on the Al Akhawayn campus, these mathematicians will have to present and defend their solutions in a competitive and stimulating setting.
This tournament also represents an exceptional opportunity for young people to develop essential skills such as problem solving, teamwork and public speaking.
One of the highlights of this edition will be the intervention of Rachid Yazami, Moroccan physicist-chemist and inventor of the graphite anode for lithium-ion batteries.
Winner of the prestigious Charles Stark Draper Prize in 2014, Mr. Yazami will participate remotely to share his journey and inspire Moroccan youth.
