Learners in Soweto will now have access to advanced coding, robotics and artificial intelligence training following the launch of a new robotics laboratory at Siyabonga Secondary School.
The new lab, launched on 21 May, provides learners and educators with cutting-edge learning opportunities in coding, robotics and emerging technologies, including motion sensors, microcontrollers and smart devices that can detect movement, respond and communicate data.
For many learners, the programme is already sparking curiosity and excitement.
Tebogo Ramphisa, ICT Coordinator at Siyanda Secondary School, says the introduction of coding and robotics is already making a noticeable impact, with both learners and teachers embracing the programme with enthusiasm and curiosity.
According to Ramphisa, learners have responded positively to the programme, showing excitement and a willingness to explore new concepts through hands-on learning and experimentation.
