Eight pan yards will soon open their own technology centres, courtesy the Digicel Foundation and Pan Trinbago.
Four steelbands have been selected to transform their spaces into TIE Centres: NLCB Fonclaire Steel Orchestra, Valley Harps Steel Orchestra, Trinidad All Stars Co-operative Society Limited, and T&TEC Tropical Angel Harps Steel Orchestra.
Over the next few months, the Digicel Foundation team will be on the ground transforming these eight pan spaces into Technology in Education Centres, through an investment of $540,000.
Each space in the pan yards will be upgraded and outfitted with five desktop computers, a printer, external speakers, computer desks, and chairs.
Last year, the Digicel Foundation partnered with the Tobago Panthers Steel Orchestra to establish a TIE Centre.
