Jan Kriel School<\/a>) and Caleb Mckerry (De Kuilen High School), is developing innovative solutions for futuristic transport in tomorrow’s cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“Although our club has been running for nine years we relocated to Cape Town only in January,” said Jillian August, coach of Robokids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Every participant is a first-year robotics student.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robotics is offered as an extracurricular subject to learners from Grade R to Grade 9 at the Robokids Learning Centre in Church Street.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“From the moment they enrolled these young innovators have been unstoppable, spending long weekends, sacrificing their winter holidays and dedicating countless hours to building, coding and perfecting their research projects.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Robokids high-school teams decided just seven weeks before the event to compete in the WRO’s Future Innovators Junior and Senior categories.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Their hard work, perseverance and determination paid off. They won first place in both categories, earning them the title of Western Province champions.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August said the next challenge is to get the learners to Pretoria. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For these bright young minds the nationals are not just a competition, but an opportunity to showcase their innovation, gain exposure to national-level STEM excellence and inspire other youth in our community. Unfortunately, without financial support they may not be able to attend.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
August said the estimated cost to cover expenses for the learners in Pretoria from 11 to 14 September is around R60 000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donations or sponsorship (that includes branding opportunities) would be welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
