PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Science Fair Foundation (SMSFF) is excited to announce its partnership with the Anguilla Robotics Association (ARA) for the 2025 Science Fair. For the first time, alongside the incredible projects presented by participating secondary schools, primary school students and the general public will have the opportunity to experience live robotic demonstrations and interact with robotic kits courtesy of ARA during their designated viewing sessions.
SMSFF is incredibly proud to host the ARA, as this collaboration highlights the spirit of regional cooperation and provides an additional opportunity for hands-on exposure to emerging technology.
“This year, we revamped the categories of the National Science Fair and included Computer, Software, and Robotics as part of our commitment to innovation,” said Dr. Rolinda Carter, President of SMSFF. With this change, we wanted to do something different. We are extremely excited about our collaboration with ARA, as it not only adds to the Fair’s impact but also fosters future opportunities for our local schools. Our mission has always been to 'inspire, empower, and cultivate a passion for STEAM, and this initiative brings us one step closer to that goal.”
The general public is invited to two viewing sessions at the Aleeze Convention Center:
- Thursday, April 3, 2025: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
- Friday, April 4, 2025: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Featuring the Anguilla Robotics Association)
We look forward to seeing the community at the public viewing sessions.
