The Faculty of Science and Technology, in partnership with the JPS Foundation, will be hosting its annual CAPE Workshops from January 8 – 12 and 15 – 16, 2024. These workshops are designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge through theory review, practice questions, and laboratory experience.

There are 6 separate one-day workshops in the fields of Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics, and Physics for a cost of $1500 per person, per workshop unit. The topics and respective workshop dates are shown in the table in the attached document. The workshop will also facilitate a lunch meeting with the teachers in attendance to discuss subject matters as well as any other UWI engagement that may be useful to the students.

The workshops will take place at two venues:

• Kingston – UWI, Mona Campus – Monday, January 8– Friday, January 12, 2024 and
• Montego Bay – UWI, Western Jamaica Campus – Thursday, January 15 – Friday, January 16, 2024
