Celebrating a week with our MIT visitors: Anh and Matvey inspire BIS Hanoi
Over the last week, our community was fortunate to host two exceptional students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Anh and Matvey. Their dynamic and enriching sessions have left a lasting impact on students, staff and parents alike.
Throughout their stay, Anh and Matvey inspired Year 12 students by sharing their personal journeys to MIT, emphasising the importance of academic rigour, extracurricular involvement, and passion in achieving their goals. They delved into advanced topics such as machine learning and mathematical modelling, providing thought-provoking workshops for Year 12 Computer Science and Mathematics students. Their ability to simplify complex ideas made these sessions both accessible and stimulating.

Parents benefited from their expertise through the Parent Connect Workshop, where Anh and Matvey shared practical advice on supporting students aiming for Ivy League and other top-tier universities. Their insights highlighted the pathways to academic success while reinforcing the importance of fostering resilience and determination. Beyond the classroom, Anh and Matvey contributed to extracurricular programmes, including Robotics and MIT Competition drop-in sessions, where they encouraged students to explore their interests in technology and engineering.
Anh and Matvey’s visit has been a true celebration of learning, innovation and the global connections that enrich our BIS Hanoi community. We are deeply grateful for their time, expertise, and inspiration and look forward to carrying the spark they ignited into our future endeavours.
