The Caribbean’s Future Needs YOUR Ideas. Join the Climate & Tech Hackathon.

Young people across the Caribbean are no strangers to the effects of climate change. From rising seas to stronger storms, we see it and we live it. But we’re also the ones with the creativity, energy, and skills to fight back.

That’s why the Climate & Tech Hackathon is here. It’s more than just a competition. It’s a space where Caribbean youth come together to dream, design, and deliver solutions that could change lives.

Imagine teaming up with like-minded innovators, guided by mentors, and using technology to build tools that help our islands adapt and thrive. Picture yourself pitching an idea so powerful it not only wins prizes, but also sparks real change in your community.

Applications close 26th October, and the Caribbean is waiting for your ideas. Don’t just watch the future happen. Help build it.

Press Release
Marigot, Dominica – September 3, 2025
A new chapter of excellence begins for eight students as the MDC US Study Program – Boarding School Section proudly sends them off to pursue world-class educational opportunities in the United States.

This year’s all-girl cohort—Makayla Constance, Micah Clunes, Danielle Fergus, Nia Williams, Kayla-Maria Astaphan, K’Asia-Shanice Ferreira-Barnes, Lizanne Cuffy, and Shaynne Thomas—represents a spirit of determination, ambition, and promise. Together, they have earned scholarships valued at an impressive US$1.2 million.

The group of seven Dominican students and one student from St. Kitts will begin their journey at some of America’s most respected boarding schools: Westover School (Connecticut), Oregon Episcopal School (Oregon), Fountain Valley School (Colorado), and Oldfields School (Maryland).

Over the next two to four years, these bright young women will not only prepare academically for entry into U.S. universities but also embrace experiences that will shape them into global leaders. Their achievement is a testament to the power of opportunity, the value of hard work, and the importance of parents investing in their children’s futures.

The MDC US Study Program celebrates their success and wishes them the very best as they take this bold step toward building brighter futures for themselves and their families.
