Robotics has been identified as a crucial skill for future employment and a fun way for learners to learn mathematics and science in a practical way. In collaboration with Futurelabs we can offer this training for our learners at Khanyisa. Robotics gives the learners a familiarity and contact with high-tech software and hardware, which is normally only realized at tertiary education level. Robotic lessons are providing learners (age 9 – 12) exposure to software and hardware, which in later years will increase capacity to be employable in a technological world. By providing classes weekly learners with little or no computing background will come to terms, initially, with how use a computer while familiarizing themselves with the software. Learners become accustomed with computers and with the logic of programming. Week after week, the logic and abstract problem solving will become more in depth, while building on what the learners have already learnt in the previous lessons. We Currently run 3 classes with 10 learners per class due to limited computers(which we supply), robotics equipment and instructors.We are working on expanding this program to other locations to grow interest and excitement for math’s and science.
