United Siyafunda NPC offers three interconnected STEAM programs designed to empower learners, youth, and educators alike. Our three-pillar approach ensures we provide high-quality educational training that bridges the gap between traditional schooling and the demands of the 21st-century economy.
This full-time program (intra and extra-curricular) is filled with Interactive lessons that allow learners to learn coding in a manner that stimulates literacy - enabling the learners to tell stories through coding. The lesson progress in difficulty and topics covered in accordance to the grades, and DBE proposed coding and robotics curriculum.
The breakdown of obstacles to the learning process is essential to the program, it is deployed in fun ways to impart complex concepts (e.g. Sequencing, Decomposition and Algorithm), while our facilitators remove the language barriers since the program can be delivered in most of the official languages.
This program prioritizes youth development, providing them with the tools, mentorship, and hands-on experience to thrive in a technology-driven world.
The program runs for a year (12 months), with the full STEAM PREP curriculum delivered over a six-month period and followed by a 6-month experience learning period - process within which pathways for employment and upskilling are made available to the youth.
Through a structured blend of online and hands-on practical sessions (two hours each, weekly), the program ensures teachers gain proficiency in both theory and classroom implementation.
The program equips educators with foundational technical and instructional skills in robotics. Certificates are downloadable and may be linked to the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF)
