Social Coding ZA

These kinds of digital skills are imperative for pushing South Africa forward and we are so grateful to our partners @merchantsx for not only supporting us on youth day but every other day of the year! #Play4Good #DigitalInclusion #RuralDevelopment

What an incredible day we had at the Social Coding x Merchants Youth Day event! We hosted 20 rural learners from Limpopo The students demonstrated the incredible skills they have learned through Social Coding over the past 12 months, to build and code working lego robots!

As promised, this month is actioned-packed with Youth activities, set to kick off on our day; Youth Day! Keep an eye on all our social media platforms next week for live coverage of our Youth Day Robotics event in partnership with Merchants, happening on their campus in Jhb!

As we celebrate and commemorate Youth Month, we will be delving into activities and workshops that seek to immerse our youth in all the offerings the digital world has to offer! From Coding workshops and Youth-based initiatives we cannot wait to celebrate youth month with you!

Last day for cohort 2022! Reflecting on the 2030 Agenda & looking ahead to the next 15 years, there is no question that the youth can leverage technology to deliver on our shared responsibility to put an end to poverty, leave no one behind, & create a world of dignity for all.

As we welcome our 2022 cohort of new facilitators we’d like to thank our partners @merchantscx for providing NQF5 Accredited training for each facilitator over the next 4 months, ensuring they are well equipped to teach and empower the beneficiaries of their community. #Inclusion

And day 1 of our 2022 new school recruitment starts today! We’re excited to embark on a 6 week journey of visiting 35 new rural schools and get them on board with 1 of our computer science and coding programs! #DigitalInclusion #RuralEmpowerment

We're honoured to have been the training delivery partner for the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute's (FABI) small scale farmers workshop. It was such a joy to witness these farmers learn to use technology in a way that could lead to better farming & income

Did some one say 100% pass rate?🥳🥳🥳 well done to the class of 2021! Especially the 67 learners that were a part of our remote learning program! We’re so proud of you!

Today we reflect on the last 5 years of Social Coding and how far we’ve come! Did you know that when we started, we had NO computers or laptops and would teach the learners from a black board while they learned code on pen and paper? Talk about glow up!
