THE STEMGuyana Project team will today launch their Grade 6 mobile Math app at the National Racquet Centre, Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.The launch will be held at 11:00 hrs.  The mobile Math app was created to help the more than 14,000 children of Guyana who will be taking the Grade 6 exam at the end of April each year.

During the summer of 2016, STEMGuyana hosted more than 200 students in four robot building and programming camps held in Georgetown, Buxton and Lusignan.

The Grade 6 mobile Math app launch was made possible by the full support of the Office of the First Lady of Guyana and the Ministry of the Presidency.

The STEMGuyana team also met with National Centre for Education Resource Development (NCERD) Director, Jennifer Cummerbatch, and has gained the full support of that organisation within the Ministry of Education, responsible for the development of STEM Education.

“We envision working with NCERD to improve the functionality of the app, to test the outcomes, and to improve the distribution to students and classrooms across Guyana,” said Karen Abrams, Co-Founder of the STEMGuyana project.

President David Granger and First Lady Sandra Granger are expected to attend the launch.
