By Zoila Palma: On August 18, 2026, the Ministry of E-Governance handed over a VEX V5 Classroom Super Robotics Kit to the University of Belize.

The donation supports the university’s Jaguar Tech Studio, an initiative dedicated to advancing student learning and innovation in robotics and technology.

The VEX V5 Classroom Super Kit is a comprehensive educational robotics platform featuring more than 1,500 components, including a Robot Brain, Controller, Smart Motors, a rechargeable battery and charger, sensors, and a wide range of structural and mechanical parts. With access to this technology, students can move beyond theoretical concepts and gain hands-on experience designing, building, programming, testing, and refining robotic systems.

The Ministry says that this partnership with UB reflects its continued commitment to advancing digital transformation and strengthening digital skills across Belize, in alignment with the priorities of the National Digital Agenda.

“As technology continues to reshape industries and the future of work, building practical competencies in areas such as programming, automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence will be essential to Belize’s continued growth and competitiveness,” the Ministry said.

The Ministry will also be strategically donating additional robotics kits to other organizations and educational institutions across the country, helping to expand access to emerging technologies and create more opportunities for Belizeans to develop the digital skills needed for the future.
