TOBAGO SCHOOLS WIN NEW TECHNOLOGY

TUESDAY 20 AUGUST, 2024: PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO – The top schools at the 2024 THA Maypole Competition have been rewarded with cutting-edge technology from the Digicel Foundation. The technology resources have been designated for the Visual and Performing Arts programmes at the schools as part of a THA Division of Education, Research, and Technology (DERTech) initiative to enhance technological integration in the arts within Tobago.

The students of Whim Anglican Primary School copped first place, followed by Bethesda Government Primary School in Second Place and Buccoo Government Primary School in Third. All three schools walked away winners with a comprehensive computer setup from the Digicel Foundation that included a wired keyboard and mouse, HDMI adapter, wireless USB adapter, a 21.5 inch Acer Nitro VGO gaming monitor, an Argom Tech Multimedia Stereo speaker, and a Xtech Computer Case.

The three schools will now participate in a pilot project developed by the Multicultural and Curriculum Units of DERTech aimed at fostering a deeper understanding and integration of modern technology in the arts. The team from the Multicultural Unit, led by Coordinator Mickiel Gabriel, handed over the prizes to representatives of the schools at an award ceremony held at the DERTech on August 9.
