THE Information Technology Unit of the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD), in collaboration with the Management and Information Systems Unit (MISU), hosted a fruitful exploratory meeting with international ICT and STEM Robotics Consultant, Mr William Neal.

During the session on Monday, Mr Neal drew on his extensive global experience working in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Colombia, Brazil, Honduras, and Turkey.
He provided valuable insights into the structure and implementation of robotics education around the world, highlighting best practices that could be adapted to suit Guyana’s education landscape.
Mr Neal also reflected on his previous contributions to Guyana’s education system, including ICT training for teachers.

He emphasised the benefits of incorporating base robotics kits into classroom learning and promoting student engagement through collaborative competitions and community showcases — strategies that have proven effective in developing both technical skills and creativity in students, internationally.

This engagement represents a promising step forward as Guyana continues to explore innovative approaches to strengthen STEM and robotics education for its learners.
