First Lady, Sandra Granger on Monday made good on a promise that she made last year to students of the Harmony Secondary School in Wismar, Linden, to introduce the first Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Guyana Robotics Workshop in Region Ten at their school.

According to a release from the Ministry of the Presidency, thirty-two students are participating in the four-day programme, which aims to introduce them to a new way of using modern technology. The workshop is being hosted in collaboration with STEM Guyana’s co-founder, Karen Abrams and Team Guyana, which includes two past graduates of the first and second STEM workshops held here.
