EP 16: Texpand Robotics and the importance of STEM Skills in South Africa
Did you know that fewer than 2% of African students under 18 years complete school with vital Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills. As South Africans, we greatly appreciate any chance we get to contribute to the education of our youth, particularly in the significant and fulfilling field of STEM careers.
Recently, Spitfire Inbound made a partial sponsorship contribution towards Texpand, a Cape Town-based robotics team, for their participation in an international competition, The First Tech Challenge (FTC), held in Texas in April 2023.
In our latest podcast episode, we had the opportunity to chat to Michelle Buckle, the volunteer team coach of Texpand, and two esteemed students from Texpand, Ethan Buckle and Matthew Greenwood, about this incredible experience.

EP 15: Being heard in a meeting with Lemay and Samantha - Women In Marketing Series
Today is International Women's Day, and in honor of this special occasion, we have two amazing guests who are going to share their experiences and insights on how to help the unheard voice.
Samantha Steele, our very own Head of Content, and Lemay Rogers, Senior Digital Marketing Manager and B2B Marketing and CRM at Rentokil Initial, both have had to work their way up in traditional male-dominated spaces. They understand what it's like to feel voiceless and invisible in a meeting room full of men.
But instead of giving up or staying silent, they found ways to break through the noise and make their voices heard. They are passionate about helping others do the same.
In this episode, we'll dive into their experiences and discuss the challenges they faced as women in the marketing industry. We'll also explore their advice for people feeling voiceless and invisible in their workplaces.
But that's not all. We'll also ask them about their tips for people who are running those meetings. How can leaders create a safe space for everyone to speak up and be heard?
So if you're ready to learn from two fierce women changing the game, sit back and enjoy this episode of Spitfire Take Flight.
