PG Welcomes its First USpace Hub  

The USpace Hub has officially arrived in Dangriga! This exciting initiative from the Ministry of Education aims to boost computer skills and innovation. Now, Dangriga residents, especially youths, can dive into learning coding and robotics at the brand-new Ignacia Cacho Library. News Five’s Britney Gordon has all the details.

“I must say that one of the key points.  I have captured is to unlock the digital era,  you know, and to enable an environment for young people. I mean, today,  no one will teach you how to send an email. No one will teach you how to navigate or to navigate through the internet. No one will even teach you how to do how to send WhatsApp messages or anything.  We are expecting that the kids will be born with it.  And so,  we need to change that. I have visited this library about two times with today, and the first time I came it was empty.  And I see a lot of kids here today, but, you know, please make use of it.  You know, and you have my support and we will work together. Remember, the secret to get out of poverty is through education. And we welcome the youth peers. Lead like a girl.  I have no problem with that.  My mother, my wife, my daughter, you know, I’m proud of them. And so I’m so happy to see that today we are going to launch a  historical moment for Punta Gorda with an impact to the Toledo district, where we will unlock the digital opportunities, and remember we are in the digital era,  which means that if you are not familiar with how to navigate  your digital systems, and of course, you know, we will have to compete with AI.  So you have to be smarter than AI, you have to know more than AI, and if anything, just develop AI.”
