AlgoAtWork Robotics Radio AlgoAtWork Robotics Academy

Transformation in education for sustainability requires the commitment of government, private firms and societies at large. With the changes and Technological disruptions happening randomly and regularly, the big question remains on whether our education curriculum in South Africa is still relevant and if not, what is the correct set of required changes that must be made in order to re-align it with the new world order and ensure that the learners we produce have the necessary skillsets needed to thrive in the future workplace. Co-Founder of AlgoAtWork NPC, Tshega Mampshika unpacks his thoughts and observations based on the learnings at the University of Zululand and AlgoAtWork Robotics Academy where he conducts coding & robotics classes weekly for schoolchildren for the purpose of building an education model for the future.

Epidemics such as #COVID19 have major disruptions for public / private businesses and global communities. The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is creating a crisis in the world economy and the all institutions behind it. The AlgoAtWork Robotics Academy is no exception as it was forced to shut down #Coding & #Robotics classes at the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone Technohub temporarily. On the first episode of the AlgoAtWork Robotics Radio, Co-Founder Langa Zulu sits down with "Sir" (as juniors at the Academy call him) Tshega Mampshika to look at how The Academy has responded to the COVID19 Outbreak in Richards Bay and how the virus may not be the baddest thing to happen but a big opportunity to unleash the next level of the pilot of the education Curriculum of the future.
