Caribbean EdTech company SmartTerm has announced a partnership with KRWTronics to deliver comprehensive AI and robotics curricula to schools across the region.

The agreement, signed in April 2025, marks a significant step in SmartTerm’s mission to provide ready-to-deploy educational systems that integrate curricula, content, and instructional resources.

The company explained that the partnership will initially focus on delivering robotics curricula, innovative activities and training programmes to primary and secondary schools across the Caribbean, followed by a broader extra-regional implementation. It will also equip teachers with the tools and resources to effectively integrate robotics and AI into existing curricula, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy skills among students.

The collaboration comes as SmartTerm expands its impact, building on its recent national success in St Vincent and the Grenadines, a country rapidly becoming a model for education systems across the Caribbean.

According to SmartTerm, its all-in-one platform is designed to simplify implementation, improve student outcomes, and drive educational change through actionable, curriculum-aligned solutions.

“Partnering with SmartTerm allows us to scale our robotics and AI curriculum across the Caribbean, equipping students with the critical skills needed for the 21st-century workforce,” a news release from the company’s publicists quotes Wayne Thompson, CEO of KRWTronics.

“Our goal is to foster a generation of future-ready innovators who can compete globally while solving regional challenges,” added Thompson, who has extensive expertise in robotics education and curriculum development, as well as a distinguished background in STEM education, having contributed to the initial development of the CSEC Robotics syllabus and leading robotics programmes at Calabar High School and The Mico University College.

SmartTerm CEO Ayodele Pompey emphasised the importance of the partnership in accelerating the company’s mission.

“We’re delivering complete educational systems ready to be deployed. This shift positions SmartTerm as more than a platform provider, it makes us a direct enabler of educational success. Through this partnership with KRWTronics we’re giving students the chance to learn through real-world, hands-on experiences with cutting-edge technologies to ensure our students aren’t left behind. And as we look ahead, we’re also developing a new solution to help schools rapidly improve institutional effectiveness by simplifying fund-raising — coming later this year.”

Shamir Saddler, chairman of SmartTerm, highlighted the strategic alignment of both companies.

“Wayne Thompson’s work in STEM and robotics is exemplary. By combining KRWTronics’ robotics expertise with SmartTerm’s scalable platform we are creating a powerful framework for STEM education that can be rapidly implemented across multiple markets. It’s instructive to note that we are building a tech company for us, by us, with a deep understanding of the Caribbean’s unique educational needs,” he said.
