United Siyafunda is proud to announce a generous donation of 50 micro:bits from the Micro:bit Foundation. This contribution significantly strengthens our ability to deliver impactful coding and robotics education programs in undeserved schools and communities across Southern Africa.

This support comes at a crucial time as we continue expanding access to digital skills education, ensuring that more learners are equipped with the tools needed for the future.

The timing of this donation aligned perfectly with a recent coding and robotics event hosted by United Siyafunda in Lesotho. During the event, learners actively used micro:bits in various competition challenges, gaining hands-on experience in programming and problem-solving.

For many participating schools, this was their first exposure to micro:bit technology. The experience sparked excitement, curiosity, and a deeper interest in STEM education, highlighting the importance of integrating technology into classrooms.

With these additional resources, United Siyafunda aims to:

Expand coding and robotics programs to more schools

Support teachers with practical technology tools

Increase participation in STEM-focused initiatives

This milestone reinforces our commitment to empowering young people through technology in education, fostering creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills that are essential for the modern world.
