In what STEMGuyana believes is a “big boost” to its preparations for the upcoming international tournament in Singapore, Duke Lodge has sponsored a STEM Lab at its Duke Street, Kingston facility.
STEM Guyana’s Karen Abrams told the Stabroek News that this was “an exciting development for Guyana’s technology education sector”. Duke Lodge is part of the Roraima Group, and is owned by Gerry Gouveia.
“The international games, known as the First Global Challenge, is an annual event that sees participation from 180 countries. TEAM Guyana has been a consistent participant since the games’ inception in 2017, except for 2022 due to visa issues. Despite these challenges, the team has consistently ranked among the top 30 teams globally, even securing a 10th-place finish in 2017 and winning the prestigious Albert Einstein Gold Medal for Engineering Innovation in 2019,” she added.
