Since the 24th of January, Awarenet is back to hosting both Robotics and Coding and OLICO maths lessons in the Open Labs of the Joza Youth Hub. Every Friday when the robotics lessons take place, learners from several high schools in Joza Township come to enjoy the nice environment and to learn something fun.
In the first Robotics session on the 24th, the learners were taught about the different components of the LEGO Mindstorms robots while in the following lesson they were taught to assemble the robots. Soon the learners will be allowed to use the robots in full action programming them to drive around a mat!
Mathematics lessons with the OLICO maths programme are taking place in the labs every Wednesday and Friday for one hour each. The learners from the Seventh Day Adventist Primary School use our lab or our tablets to access the online learning programme.
We are happy to see that the Open Labs are being used frequently and that they are full most of the time. Seeing that our computer labs really make a difference in the community is something we are very proud of!
