Ten students from junior secondary schools in Georgetown began a five-week paid internship on Monday July 22, with several private sector Information and Communications Technology (ICT) enterprises in Georgetown
According to a Ministry of Public Telecommunications (MoPT) release, the internship is a direct spin-off of a “Travelling Symposium” that the Ministry conducted last March with an outreach to the St Mary’s, Lodge, Carmel, Queens-town and Charlestown Secondary Schools.
The internship itself is a talent-scouting endeavour with the aim of enlightening the students about the ways they could convert their talents such as drawing, singing, writing or dramatising poetry, into a technological product, whether it is in animation, robotics, gaming, software design or programming.
