Despite the COVID-19-related setbacks faced by STEMGuyana, the organisation has managed to engage and educate local youths through its virtual programs and is working towards the launching of a national robotics challenge slated for August 15 to September 7.

STEMGuyana, a registered nonprofit organisation (NPO), has been making great strides within the public and private realm in Guyana, meeting the needs of Guyanese children across all ten administrative regions. STEM, an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, has been making a significant impact on its members as it relates to the knowledge of the subjects. This is the fourth year since the organisation has been in operation. Despite not yet having received any significant funding for this year, the organisation has still been able to launch several technology education programs.
