Team STEMGuyana finished in 10th place after overcoming many hurdles in their battle against 164 other nations at the inaugural First Global Games, a robotics competition held in Washington, D.C, on Monday and Tuesday.
Under the theme “H2O Flow,” the competition, which is modelled after the Olympics, tested the critical thinking, strategy, and ingenuity of the competitors, who were tasked to construct robots that would help solve the problem of access to clean water.
“In spite of a series of challenges, the amazing Team Guyana ended the First Global Robotics Tourney in 10th place out of 165 teams. Team Guyana with 4 months’ experience performed an amazing feat. Guyana should surely be proud of her young people,” Karen Abrams, co-founder of STEMGuyana, said of the team’s performance last evening.
