STEMGuyana, which celebrates five years since being established by a US-based Guyanese family, has made a tremendous contribution to youth through its technology education programme, inclusive of robotics, coding and aiding their development in soft skills.
Karen Abrams, her husband Leon Christian and their children Ima, Asha, Caleb and Joshua co-founded the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programme in Guyana, purchasing equipment and robot kits with funding from Guyanese in the Diaspora that allowed for camps at Buxton, Lusignan, St Rose’s High and Queen’s College. Among the sponsors was the Office of the then First Lady Sandra Granger who invited the family and made arrangements for accommodation.
