Description

STEMGuyana leaders believe that a more effective route to producing the 5 percent of youths who have the skills needed to be STEM workers and innovators in the new Guyana economy, is to embrace a system where students’ interests and passion for STEM, drive curricula. This means providing opportunities for young Guyanese to be exposed to engaging STEM curricula where their talents can be nurtured and they can be prepared from as young as primary school levels to be the next generation of innovators who will create companies and drive economic growth in Guyana over the next twenty five years. It is the sole reason why STEM-Guyana’s partners fund the expansion of STEM clubs into communities all across Guyana without regard to economic status, gender or race.

STEMGuyana’s goal is to train enough STEM club leaders to support the expansion of a network of more than 100 STEM clubs in all 10 regions of Guyana. This course is designed for persons who are interested in creating and managing their own STEM clubs in the STEMGuyana network. Students learn how to code, build robots, strengthen their Maths, Science & Technology skills. Students also learn how to work together, solve problems, navigate conflicts and strengthen their creative and communication skills.

Students are expected to complete all 4 modules before they are certified for club leadership.
