The Greater Guyana Initiative and Project New Nation Launch SPARRK Lab to Build STEM and Digital Skills in Region 7

Primary school students in Kalacoon, Coomacka and Rivers View now have access to robotics, coding and digital learning opportunities through the newly launched Science, Programming and Robotics for Resilient Kids (SPARRK) Lab, an education initiative funded by The Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI) and implemented by Project New Nation (PNN).

Launched in Bartica, the programme provides students in Grades 1 through 6 with hands-on exposure to technology while strengthening literacy and numeracy skills. Through interactive learning experiences, students will develop foundational digital competencies, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that can support their continued academic growth.

The initiative expands access to STEM education in communities where opportunities for technology-based learning may be limited. Students will participate in coding, robotics, animation and other technology-driven activities, while receiving targeted support designed to enhance literacy and numeracy outcomes.
