This week, East London in the Eastern Cape is buzzing with innovation as the Raspberry Pi Foundation leads a groundbreaking Coding and Robotics Subject Advisor Training Program. The initiative is specifically designed for Foundation Phase educators, equipping them with the skills and confidence to implement this subject.

The program aims to demystify the curriculum and provide advisors with practical strategies to integrate coding, robotics, and digital concepts into early education. By targeting the Foundation Phase, the initiative ensures that learners begin building problem-solving and creative thinking skills from the very start of their schooling journey.

We are proud to share that our CEO, Dieketseng Nibe, has been invited as a guest facilitator. With her extensive knowledge and experience in Coding and Robotics across Southern Africa, she is contributing to the implementation of this initiative by guiding educators through hands-on approaches and collaborative methods.

Her leadership and innovation such as developing low-cost robotics solutions for schools bring invaluable expertise to the program, ensuring that educators are empowered to deliver meaningful, cantered experiences in classrooms.

This initiative is more than training; it is a movement to empower educators and learners alike, preparing the next generation to thrive in a digital world. With the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s support and Dieketseng’s involvement, the Eastern Cape is taking bold steps toward shaping South Africa’s digital future.
