The Coding and Robotics Club

Coding and robotics are being introduced in the Foundation Phase CAPS curriculum in South African schools as from 2023. This should be welcomed, as research shows that coding and robotics teach and develop skills in learners such as analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, computational thinking and creativity.

Research in Foundation Phase has shown that coding holds affordances to develop scientific process skills in young learners. The problem is that we face a shortage of suitably qualified teachers to implement this curriculum imperative.

The Coding and Robotics Club envisages to provide the much-needed training and reskilling of teachers to facilitate coding and robotics in the Foundation Phase classroom, and to research the reformed teaching practices in the post-intervention classroom. The Club will also host activities for school learners and UWC students.
