CODING 3D PRINTING
South Africa’s Basic Education minister Angie Motshekga has said that coding and robotics would form part of the curriculum at different school levels from Grade R to Grade 9.
The coding and robotics subjects are aimed at guiding and preparing learners to solve problems, think critically, work collaboratively and creatively, and function in a digital and information-driven world, the department said.
Why do we use coding and robotics?
People’s day-to-day lives are led by and include the use of innovations built on the core principles of coding and robotics. Among other functions, it enables the swift execution of tasks and helps solve problems analytically and creatively.
Brainstorm Boffins edtech solutions have been developed to ease the teaching and learning of coding and robotics for all.
