a well needed and impactful step towards innovative and skilled generation.

Afribot Robotics and Adanian Labs are uniting their expertise to reshape how young learners across Nairobi and its surrounding communities engage with STEM. This partnership extends beyond introducing new equipment or curricula and sets in motion a thoughtful ecosystem where scientific exploration, ethical digital practices, and mental well-being are woven into a single learning experience. From December 16, 2024, we will host a one-week Kids Bootcamp dedicated to fostering authentic innovation. Through hands-on projects, thoughtful mentorship, and a keen awareness of each learner’s psychological landscape, we aim to nurture children’s capacity for critical thinking, problem-solving, and responsible digital citizenship. To mark the beginning of this collaborative effort, we are convening a webinar on the interplay between technology, devices, and the emotional health of children. Rather than skimming the surface, expert speakers will examine the subtle pressures of the digital world and propose realistic strategies for safeguarding the minds and online lives of young people. We invite educators, parents, and all who care about the intellectual and emotional growth of the next generation to join us. This is more than a program; it’s a forward-looking commitment to raising capable, conscientious innovators for the realities of tomorrow.

🎉 Empowering Young Minds with Robotics and Electronics! 🌟 We're thrilled to see Brainbirds Academy #EdTech Lab setup by Nikasemo Technologies in action! At our #Edtech Labs, we focus on three key areas: ✔️ Helping teachers identify learning gaps among learners through AI-powered tests. ✔️ Delivering interactive sessions that bring lessons to life with videos and games and; ✔️ Teaching Coding & Robotics. Using the STEMAIDE AFRICA's Robotics Kits, learners are discovering the foundational concepts of robotics and electronics, setting the stage for innovation and creativity at an early age. 🚀💡 -- See the joy on their faces as the carry out their projects. "Sir we're done, we're done. Heeeeeeey" Robotics and electronics aren't just about technology; they nurture problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and a passion for STEM—all essential tools for the leaders of tomorrow. Just imagine the transformation that is going to happen in Africa when every child is exposed to this kind of knowledge! A big congratulations to Nikasemo Technologies Brainbirds Academy STEMAIDE AFRICA for championing this transformative initiative! Together, we're shaping a future where learners dream big and achieve even bigger. 🌈✨ #STEMEducation #RoboticsForKids #EdTech #EdTechInnovation #EducationMatters #EarlyLearning #foreverychild Nikasemo Technologies STEMAIDE AFRICA & Brainbirds Academy UNICEF UNICEF Ghana UNICEF StartUp Lab Mastercard Foundation MEST Africa Ghana Edtech Alliance Nikasemo Technologies | #ANewLearningExperience | #LearningIsFun

🚀 A Journey of Transformation Through Robotics 🚀 Meet the incredible teacher behind the Muramati Comprehensive Primary School robotics team, who, alongside our program at Science in a Suitcase, has helped unlock a world of possibilities for students who previously knew nothing about computers. Here’s what he had to say: "My first time to get involved in robotics was through Science in a Suitcase, who offered training. At first, I knew it would be challenging to coach students with no computer experience, but seeing the penguin movement of my robot that Saturday motivated me. The robotics club has made a tremendous change of mindset for students, shaping their pathways to STEM. The biggest challenges in preparing the students for nationals were 1) a lack of safe robot carrier, to avoid demolish or breakage and 2) absence of robotics club lab safe for our robots, hence we ended up practicing in a dusty and dark room. Besides these challenges, I felt much humbled having secured 3rd position [at the World Robotic Olympiad event in Nairobi]. Our successes were geared by the support from the Science In A Suitcase (Nicole, Barbara, Antonio and friends ). Their generosity overwhelms. The club has shouted our school name, and the community at large has expressed their gratitude for this success. I hope in future we will not face the above mentioned challenges not only in our school but also in others. As we prepare to compete internationally, our goal is to win, learn more and take home a trophy. To potential supporters out there, kindly join hands and offer your support, to help nurture minds of these young students to choosing their STEM pathway. The greatest tragedy in life is not death, its life without a purpose. Kindly help our siblings have life purposes by extending a kind gesture. A hand that gives, receives. May you never lack out of giving. Thank you all."

Last year, I was invited by Siphumelele Zondi to his amazingly impactful TV Show on SABC called “Network”. Here is the summary of the conversation and how at AlgoAtWork we have seen things shaping up and the next steps we as citizens, communities together with public and private institutions should take to transform #education in #SouthAfrica for the #FourthIndustrialRevolution and beyond. Key points discussed: 1. 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫: • Government should focus on creating enabling frameworks, policies, and incentives for private and community-driven initiatives. • The private sector, supported by organizations like SETAs, is critical in funding and implementing robotics and coding education in underserved areas. 2. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: • A shift is happening, with rural areas like Babanango (through CHIETA - The Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority via CHIETA Robotics Club) hosting some of the country’s largest #robotics program. This challenges the traditional urban dominance in access to resources and education. • Rural students are gaining access to #robotics and #coding labs, which could position rural communities as future leaders in #4IR. 3. 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: • Introducing coding and robotics from Grade R helps to instill critical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills early. • Students as young as 12 are already competing globally in #hackathons and industry summits, proving the value of early exposure to technical skills. 4. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: • Teachers often lack the necessary training but can benefit from self-driven learning resources like #YouTube. • Collaboration between #SETAs, private institutions, and local communities is essential to distribute #skillsdevelopment equitably. 5. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: • Investment in grassroots #education can disrupt traditional barriers, ensuring #technology access and #innovation opportunities for all communities. • A cultural shift is needed to view coding and robotics not as supplementary skills but as foundational tools for #globalcompetitiveness.
