On the heels of its continued success, STEM-Guyana has responded to requests from parents, teachers, civil society leaders and others to initiate an robotics education programmes for adults.
“What we have found is that many adults are still confused about robots, STEM and the implications for their children and organizations as national and regional development increasingly requires 21st century technology education preparation for our nation’s children”, Karen Abrams, Executive Director of STEMGuyana, said.
Abrams went on to add that if parents and influencers are not educated about the technology education space, they just won’t see it as a priority for their children and employees. The consequence of that will mean that a technology divide will emerge, where historically disadvantaged segments of society will continue to be left behind, while those who prepare themselves and their children today gain all of the advantages tomorrow.
