Stabroek Business has learnt that the national teams being prepared for two forthcoming major international robotics events in Dubai and South Korea are to receive valuable technical help in their preparation from ExxonMobil, as STEM Guyana, the local entity behind the building of a technology base at the level of young Guyanese, continues to work with public and private sector agencies to ensure Guyana’s participation in the events.
Earlier this week, STEM Guyana co-founder Karen Abrams told Stabroek Business that arising out of discussions between the organization and ExxonMobil, an understanding had been reached that the company now gearing to deliver Guyana’s ‘first oil’ early next year will offer “technical help” in the preparation of robots for the forthcoming competitions. “ExxonMobil has committed engineering volunteers to the team in terms of the building of a solid 2019 machine (and this is) promising,” Abrams told Stabroek Business.
