Behind every big idea is a whole lot of people making it happen. 💜

The National EdTech Summit 2026 may be over, but we couldn’t let it end without shining a little light on the people behind the scenes.

To our incredible Science & Technology Unit, and MoECST Staff who planned, coordinated, problem-solved, created, set up, showed up, and somehow made it all come together…

To our guest speakers who travelled to Belize to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas with our educators…

And to our participating booths who dedicated their time, expertise, and resources to creating spaces where our teachers could explore, learn, and connect with new possibilities…

We see you, and we appreciate you!🫶🏽

This summit was built on collaboration, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart. And every one of you helped bring that vision to life.

Thank you for helping us make happen. 🚀

Until the next one… 👀💜

The Learning Labs are officially underway!

Throughout the day, 501 educators are rotating through four immersive learning experiences:

⏰ – using AI and digital tools to work smarter, not harder.

🎨 – unlocking creativity through technology and innovation.

🏗️ – rethinking learning environments to inspire collaboration and exploration.

📚 – discovering practical strategies to enhance teaching and learning.

Every session is hands-on, collaborative, and built around one goal: helping teachers use technology with purpose to create more meaningful learning experiences for every student.

This is what looks like. 🚀

Happy Girls in ICT Day 👩🏻‍💻

Today we celebrate brilliance, boldness, and the power of girls stepping into tech and owning their space. From curiosity to creation, from first clicks to full innovation, our girls are not just participating… they are leading.

Through , we are exposing, encouraging, and supporting a generation that is ready to build, code, design, and transform Belize’s future.

This is more than a moment. It’s a movement.

And the future? It’s already here. It looks like her.

SheSecures Belize showed what happens when curiosity meets determination. For 24 hours, women came together to solve cybersecurity challenges, learn from one another, and build lasting connections.

We’re proud of every participant, and we celebrate our top 3 teams:
🥇 Maria Smith
🥈Kafira Gill and Arianne Jones
🥉Ze Yin Hung, Mia Yam and Joselynn Campos

Special thanks to OAS/CUCCTE, Hackrocks, Canada, Citi Foundation, DigiBusiness, and DigiWallet for making this event possible and for the amazing prizes. Your commitment to exposing, encouraging, and supporting girls in tech is right in line with our campaign. Together, we are bridging the gender gap. ✨

The best part? The friendships and learning continue. The WhatsApp chats are still alive with women sharing knowledge and lifting each other up. That’s the true legacy of SheSecures Belize.

Banquitas USpace just keeps raising the bar😮‍💨

The USpace has been a hub of action since launching in December 2024 and now it’s turning up the heat with our Summer Camp lighting up Shuga City!

With support from the Prime Minister’s Orange Walk Central Office and The Office of the Special Envoy, the USpace is now buzzing with young innovators coding, programming, and soon piloting drones like pros.

Banquitas USpace is proving that the north isn’t just keeping up — it’s leading the way into Belize’s digital future☝🏻
