D VecitisJason Dyett, Harvard University, DRCLAS Jason Dyett is Program Director of Harvard University’s David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) Brazil Office. Since establishing the Office in S˜ao Paulo in mid-2006, he has worked to expand research and teaching opportunities for Harvard faculty and students and their Brazilian col- laborators across disciplines. Dyett first moved to S˜ao Paulo in 1996, after two and a half years at the DRCLAS in Cambridge. From 1997 to 2002, he established the office of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s telecommunications research division in Brazil and went on to gain experience growing technol- ogy companies in the country. He rejoined DRCLAS from the

Sagicor Visionaries Challenge The Sagicor Visionaries Challenge aims to promote sustainable Caribbean communities through innovation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It asks secondary school students to: 1. Identify a challenge facing their school and or community, 2. Propose a sustainable and innovative solution, and 3. Show how that solution uses STEM In 2013, this challenge was implemented in the
