THE team that will be representing Guyana at the Inaugural Robot Olympics in Washington D.C. has arrived in the US and is getting ready to participate in the competition.

The team members are Anthony Frank, Arrianna Mahase, Christopher Nelson, Ryan Benschop, Vevekeannan Ramanarace and Saheif Poese.

They are accompanied by team manager Farnaz Baksh, coach Ricky Chan and adult mentor Horace Moseley.

Local Science, Technology, Engineer and Mathematics (STEM) project pioneer Karen Abrams said Team Guyana has all the resources and qualities to compete.

“Team Guyana is ready to do our very best,” she affirmed.

The Robotics Olympics begin on Monday, July 17 and will finish on Tuesday, July 18. Today, the team will begin their practice rounds at the Constitution Hall.

More than 150 countries from around the world are expected to participate at the Robot Olympics. This initiative is part of the wider Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programme, which was started last year under the aegis of the First Lady’s Office.

It is being spearheaded by Abrams, who is an overseas-based Guyanese.
