The University of the West Indies (UWI) Department of Electrical and Computer Science Team has an idea for STEM education in Trinidad and Tobago and it could potentially benefit the entire Caribbean.
Dr Cathy-Ann Radix is a professor in the UWI, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research project focus includes Embedded Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, Robotics and Visual Media Processing. She was working to roll-out a robotics programme in Trinidad’s schools when government funding constraints caused a halt to the project. This was just after teachers were trained in using robot technology to assist them in delivering their lesson plans, but just before the robot kits were purchased for all schools.
