STEMGuyana Co-Founder, Karen Abrams, talks with Guyana Review about the origins, challenges and objectives of the programme
GR: It has been three years since your family team brought the STEM technology programme to Guyana. Where do you hope to take the programme?
KA: We want to work with partners in Guyana to expose and engage as many young people as possible to the ‘backside’ of technology. Our young people have ‘a thing’ for gadgets. They’re familiar with the Internet, Instagram, facebook and so on… like citizens the world over, we’ve mastered consumption of IT.
Our goal is to have our young people understand and master the creation of IT. This is the space where the well – paid opportunities will be in the future both locally and globally.
