South African students will be able to participate in the international CoderZ Robotic Programming League Spring Competition. Distributors of the software in Southern Africa, Sangari Education, is inviting Teachers to participate in a CoderZ webinar to guide students, from Grade 3 to Grade 12, on how to participate.
“The webinar will be held on 1 March 2023 at 3:00 p.m. EST (10pm SAST) on Microsoft Teams and will provide information on how to prepare for this premier international competition where students develop and employ their coding and robotics skills through team-based missions,” said Bez Sangari, MD of Sangari Education.
Spring CoderZ League 2023 is designed to introduce students to coding through gamified missions and competitions, improving engagement in STEM learning with hands-on experience. “They will practice and apply 21st century skills – critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity is maximized in real-time competition. Students of any skill level can participate, and teachers do not need experience in coding,” Mr Sangari explained.
CoderZ is an the acclaimed STEM robotic learning software for pupils from six years and older and used by Amazon for its Future Engineer competition that attracts hundreds of thousands of students worldwide.
CoderZ is an online learning environment similar to gaming software that can be accessed from anywhere in the world for programming real and virtual robots. “The platform enables students to acquire computational thinking, problem solving and creativity skills, together with coding and STEM learning, all via a flexible and scalable virtual robotic coding solution,” said Mr Sangari.
“CoderZ leverages technology to maximise the four Cs of education: Critical thinking, Collaboration, Creativity and Communication. It is built on these principles to strengthen STEM learning for preparing today’s pupils for tomorrow’s careers. The role of STEM and computer science will be pivotal for students when the future job market.”
Mr Sangari believes that STEM and Computer Science education are essential for the future and should be universally available to all students. “CoderZ as a platform makes it easy for all students to learn and for educators to teach, without prior coding experience, using robots to bring the subject matter to life and a state-of-the-art training solutions for Industry 4.0. By augmenting skills training, introducing new areas of study specific to Industry 4.0 and integrating these into comprehensive programmes, children of six years upwards to high school can be introduced to advanced industry 4.0 training.”
He said the installation of CoderZ is simple. No expensive equipment is needed and learning is self-paced. Tools, guides and progress tracking are provided for teachers and parents. “The majority of educators interviewed said they would recommend CoderZ for teaching computer science and STEM the gamified way.”
