Very much with the 2017 10th place outcome for the Guyana team in the first ever Global Robotics Competition, the local STEM Guyana organization has announced that it is in the process of preparing two teams to participate in junior and senior international Robotics competitions in Dubai and South Korea later this year.
In an interview with Stabroek Business earlier this week, co-founder of STEM Guyana, Karen Abrams said that the surprising outcome of Guyana’s participation in the Washington event had provided the impetus for the decision to prepare for participation in the two forthcoming events. Abrams said however that while she was satisfied that the training exercises were going well she could not say that participation in the two events was “a done deal” since there was still the question of meeting the costs associated with getting the teams to the two countries and financing their stay and other costs associated with participation.
