STEM organises IT activities at Buccament shelter Social Share Local organisations have been mobilising to carry out various activities at emergency shelters in the hopes of making the lives of evacuees a little more stress-free and comfortable. Petrus Gumbs, the founder and director of STEM SVG STEM St Vincent and the Grenadines (STEM SVG) is no exception. The organisation, whose aim is to expose young people to technological and other learning experiences, began implementing science and introductory information technology sessions for the displaced children at the Buccament Bay Secondary School shelter in mid-April. “I really like the idea of touching base with this cohort of children and as I normally say in the stem programme, they are all intelligent children, they just need that exposure…they are willing to learn, they are interested in learning,” Petrus Gumbs, the founder and director of STEM SVG told SEARCHLIGHT this week.
