Learners empowered with coding skills
The programme was hosted by two non-profit organisations, Ososayensi and ACADAID that both work to encourage the love for science, technology, engineering and maths.
FIFTEEN learners from Mbambangwe High School in KwaFelekisi, Amanzimtoti participated in a youth coding programme covering the basics of coding as well as academic tuition in a fun and exciting way, from Tuesday, 26 March to Friday, 29 March.
The programme was hosted by two non-profit organisations, Ososayensi and ACADAID that both work to encourage the love for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and achieve this aim. Coding is a skill off the future that will soon be key to the advancement of industries.
“There were seven teachers that were involved in the programme. The tuitions covered maths, a science experiment and English,” explained ACADAID’s Zanele Njapha.

The two organisations look forward to hosting the same program in various other communities and are keen to partner with other organisations and individuals to advance this program.
