STEMGuyana, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting STEM education in Guyana, says it has signed an exclusive agreement with the International Youth Robotics Competition (IYRC) to train and certify STEM club coaches who will prepare students for participation in the IYRC global robotics competition.
A release on Monday from STEMGuyana said that the agreement will enable it to enforce internationally recognized standards, ensuring that all students in clubs across the country receive the same high-quality education and preparation for the IYRC competition. The agreement also allows STEMGuyana to be the lone body responsible for hosting the national IYRC qualifier robotics competition, from which the top 10 teams will be chosen to participate. All STEMGuyana clubs use high quality MRT-3 robotics kit to create hundreds of different robots and which is also used in the annual IYRC international competition, the release said.
