Experience math in a whole new light. At Telerom Math School’s Pop-Up, numbers meet tradition in a bold fusion of folk heritage and Pop-Art logic. Get hands-on with puzzles and patterns that show how ancient art is actually an algorithm of beauty.

Hope in Patterns 2026

Space is limited. Please register here:

Inspired by this year’s International Day of Mathematics theme—Mathematics and Hope—we felt this message was too powerful for just one day. This theme resonates so deeply with the spirit of 2026 that we’ve decided to keep the celebration going! What begins on March 14th is just the kickoff. Telerom Math School is proud to announce our “Hope in Patterns” Pop-Up Series—a traveling continuation of our Pi Day festival.
This festival is designed for children in grades 1 through 4

Where/When: 457 Noble Ave., Bridgeport, CT — Saturday, March  15 • 12:00–2:15 PM

12:00–1:15 — Фестиваль (інтерактивна частина)

1:15–2:15 — Розмова + дискусія для дорослих/підлітків. Лекція на українській мові.

1:15–2:15 Тема зустрічі

“Вивчення математики в Америці на порозі ери штучного інтелекту”

Про що поговоримо:

  • Як побудувати карту підготовки до SAT/SSAT
  • Чому під час підготовки виникає оманливе відчуття “поганої пам’яті” — і що насправді може відбуватися
  • “Людина: інструкція до застосування” — про людину і ШІ

  • Математичні досягнення як шлях до престижних університетів США
  • Природа математичної тривожності, алгоритмічне мислення, та виклики для кожного віку

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Запрошуємо дітей і дорослих!


Admission: $15 per participant. All proceeds go directly to supporting the church.

Hope in Every Stroke: A Telerom Pop-Up. Experience Hope in Patterns, where community spirit, mathematics, and Ukrainian tradition intertwine. We celebrate Petrykivka—a UNESCO-protected treasure  known for its vibrant birds and floral motifs. Come and see how math brings these ancient patterns to life, creating a bridge between cultural history and future logic.

Why We Teach the Way We Do

The world is changing at a dizzying speed. The World Economic Forum  noted that “more than half of today’s primary-school students will work in professions that do not yet exist” (Davos, 2016). Therefore, flexibility of thinking, the ability to solve non-standard tasks, and the capacity to use their full intellectual potential are especially valued. These skills will be the focus of our course.

We solve real math together — working problems out loud, modeling multiple strategies, and turning mistakes into “aha!” moments.

Telerom students shine at the  International Math Competition!

Timothy Yankovsky (Grade 2) 🏆placed 4ᵗʰ in Connecticut and 7ᵗʰ nationwide🏆 — an amazing achievement!

Congrats to Our Math Kangaroo Champs!

Grade-level leaders: Oleksandr Vypasniak (7th), Demian Opanasenko (5th), Yeva Drebot (4th), Timothy Yankovsky (2nd) —1st place at Telerom! We’re so proud of all our young math stars!

Meet Our Teachers

IRYNA VELBYTSKA
IRYNA VELBYTSKAFounder & Lead Mathematics Instructor
An energetic educator and entrepreneur, Iryna blends rigorous math training with the creativity of music and art to ignite every student’s passion for STEM. A graduate of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics and a certified teaching credential, she designs AI-ready programs where mathematics intersects with technology and logic games. Under her guidance, learners at Telerom Math School—from Connecticut to Florida—have earned top honors in international competitions such as Math Kangaroo.

Teaching Philosophy
“Mathematics is the creative language that explains our world,” Iryna says. Drawing on experience in New Haven public schools, after-school programs, and her own studies at elite STEM boarding schools (Kolmogorov Physics-Math School 18 and Kyiv Lyceum 145), she crafts interdisciplinary lessons that let students explore ideas, connect fields, and build lifelong confidence in STEM.

Andrii Kryvoruchko
Andrii KryvoruchkoInstructor of Mathematical Logic and Chess
An educator who merges mathematical precision with legal reasoning, he helps students develop sharp logical and strategic minds. Holding master’s degrees in both Mathematics and Law, he shows young players how to spot patterns, weigh evidence, and craft winning plans on and off the chessboard. Viewing chess as a training ground for critical thinking, focus, and decisive action, he tailors each lesson to a child’s style, explains positions through mathematical logic, and maintains a calm, encouraging classroom. Under his guidance, Telerom Math School teams have earned trophies in scholastic tournaments across Connecticut and Florida.

Teaching Philosophy
“Chess teaches us to think before we act,” he says. He weaves that principle into every chess and logic session, guiding learners to trace cause and effect, weigh options, and express ideas with clarity and confidence. The habits they build extend far beyond the 64 squares.

Tymofii Kryvoruchko
Tymofii KryvoruchkoRobotics Instructor
Tymofii is a data-driven engineer who pairs a systems mindset with leading-edge AI to spark students’ enthusiasm for robotics and coding. He holds a B.S. in Systems Analysis and is completing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, researching how learning algorithms make autonomous systems smarter and more dependable.

Teaching Philosophy
“The best way to understand technology is to build it.”
Guided by this belief, Tymofii designs classes around rapid prototyping, focused error analysis, and industry-style demos. This hands-on approach gives learners robust STEM skills and a clear picture of the part robotics and AI will play in shaping tomorrow’s world.
