Digicel recently donated laptops to local STEM clubs in Mahaicony and Hopetown, Region 5.
According to a press statement from the telecommunications company, there are around 30 budding engineers/students from the Secondary STEM Club, as well as the soon-to-be-launched STEM club at Hopetown Primary, who will now have access to advanced technology to help take their education to the next level.
Digicel says the laptops will enable students to explore the fascinating world of research, master scratch coding, and delve into the exciting world of robot programming. Stem Coach, Bradley Downer, said, “With such exceptional support from Digicel, the sky’s the limit for the students of Region 5.”
And Vidya Sanichara of Digicel commented that, “The access to technology and the internet are essential for learning and staying connected. These devices will help to improve the lives of those in the clubs by allowing them to access educational resources, entertainment, and communication tools and create a more equitable digital world. Furthermore, these devices are helping to bridge the digital divide by providing access to the same technology and resources that those in urban areas have access to.”
Digicel, according to its release, says it will continues to make significant investment in improving the necessary infrastructure for communities across Guyana to have access to the internet and other digital services.
