Educators can use the STEAM fair to bring forward the right kind of ideas and innovation to provide a boost to a critical sector of the education system, Minister of Education Nicolette Henry declared yesterday.
The minister was at the time giving the feature address at the opening ceremony of the 14th National Biennial Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Fair at the St Joseph High School, Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.
“What is more incredible is the inclusion of Arts into this year’s science fair. The movement from STEM to STEAM, by adding arts to the technical creativity is the foundation for advancement in all fields. Right here, ladies and gentlemen, could be the idea that spawns a new ministry, the next lucrative, innovative creation that may form part of the country’s green and sustainable plan [and] for this reason, the fair is a continuous aspect of Guyana’ s educational programme,” the minister said.
