STEM Guyana

This initiative is introducing young people here in Guyana to the basics of robotics. According to an article in the Guyana Chronicle:
First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger, today, met with the group of young Guyanese ... who are currently fine-tuning their robotic project in preparation for the inaugural Robot Olympics in Washington DC, USA in July.
More than 150 countries from around the world are expected to participate at the Robot Olympics. This initiative is part of the wider Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programme, which was started last year under the aegis of the First Lady’s Office. It is being spearheaded by Ms. Karen Abrams, an overseas-based Guyanese.

An exhibition is planned for June 24th.
