The power of innovation is immense. The Digital Learning revolution nurtured this pandemic into a productive one.

About Us

We are an organization that seeks to promote critical thinking in schools throughout Africa. The current job market, which still seems to be stubbornly hanging onto higher unemployment rates in many sectors, does have available jobs that outnumber those applying for them. Despite the strong demand for STEM jobs, many women as well as certain members of under-represented minority groups are not entering the technology arena due to, among other reasons, shortcomings in Grade R-12 education. We are inspired by the STEM education reform taking place throughout Africa, we believe that STEM instruction “requires everything from more challenging curriculums and more demanding parents to better support for teachers and new ways to measure how well our children think.”



Popular activities that encourage young people to seriously consider engineering and science include PARC (Pan African Robotics championship), which annually stages robotics and LEGO competitions that emphasize the fun side of engineering, while teaching important science, math and team-working lessons to pre-college students. It is with such organizations that we would like to level the playing field and try and make educational robots as affordable as they are ought to be.

THE FACTS

By weight, there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans, by the year 2050. (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2016). Plastic is durable, strong and long-lasting… great qualities until you realize they will last approximately 600 years in our oceans! In 2016, 1/3 of fish surveyed on the South Coast (UK) contained plastic. These figures have been recorded but imagine how our great continent will suffer if we don’t do it soon… how do your fish & chips taste now? OVER 9 MILLION TONS of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year and each year the numbers increase. We want to reduce Africa’s footprint on waste and we hope to get partners that will walk the journey with us.

THE PLEDGE

Put an end to the senseless waste that is single-use plastic. We aim to promote computer re-use and rebuilds in the private and public sectors. Changing technology and computer breakdowns lead to millions of tons of waste in discarded computers each year. Through campaigning, education and political lobbying, we can create institutional change and put an end to this growing problem.
