Learning to Code with CodeMakers and Scratch - Viewer to Do-er

View this post on Instagram

Animator? Software developer? Entrepreneur? Learning computational thinking with Scratch and CodeMakers can take you down many different paths. Nkanyiso has gone from someone who thought he might want to become an animator maybe some day to a grade 10 learner with a portfolio of clever well executed projects. He might end up in a completely different career but if he does he now knows he has the power to create. More of his fabulous projects #cmnkanyiso . Love the Scratch/DSTV remix and the attention to detail in remaking the Scratch interface. That nearly did him in. . #younganimator #southafricananimator #africananimator #southafricananimation #africananimation #scratchcoding #scratchmit #scratchanimation #kidswhocode #csforall #cs4all #chesterville #catomanor #durban #southafrica

Africa Code Week and Coding in eThekwini Libraries

View this post on Instagram

'Mind blowing, fascinating, awesome!! Suggestions - do this every day!" Our library coding session, as part of @africa_code_week_2018 , was a success. Learners from Hunt Road Secondary visited their municipal library just a block away and we had a couple of hours of Scratch and blowing minds. The school has no computers - not one -but keen learners. Hopefully we can make a plan. . . Thanks so much to the Musgrave library librarian and staff for organisation and for inviting other cybercadet staff to see how they can take coding education back to their libraries. . Meanwhile back at one of our regular schools dedicated volunteers finished the translation of Scratch blocks to isiZulu. Still a lot to do but great that's complete! . #kidswhocode #africacodeweek #csforall #girlswhocode #scratchmit #scratchcoding #librariesrock #library #ethekwinimunicipality #glenwood031 #ethekwini #durban #southafrica

Pop-Up Exhibit at KZNSA Gallery - EXTENDED until October 28

View this post on Instagram

Brilliant turnout last night for our pop-up! Learners were over the moon, people laughed out loud when they gave their friend five and Super Mandela zapped away the badness #apartheidzap, the light boxes told stories, and the doors were pushed open after closing to figure out how that game controller works. . . Thanks so much to @kznsagallery @sumayyamenezes and @angelashawreview for giving us and the learns the opportunity and to @jess_nicholson_white for inspiration and advice on the show! . Visit the KZNSA until Oct 14th to see it . . #durbanfirstthursday #firstthursday #durbanart #kidswhocode #scratchcoding #computerscienceeducation #kznsa #kznsagallery #makeymakey #lightbox #character #sprite #studentart #learnerart #durbandraws

South African Tech Entrepreneurs at ITU in Durban #ituworld

View this post on Instagram

A few of the awesome South African tech innovators and entrepreneurs presenting at the ITU meeting in Durban that we've met. They are hoping to solve the problems of inneffficient health care data and decision making @youngmdza, payment options and stock control at spaza shops @thabomoodie, and collaborative software development @_engineone. The Ericsson booth that is showcasing ~40+ SA startups is by far the most dynamic thing happening at the conference. . . . . #ituinsa18 #ituericsson #itu #ituworld #southafricanstartups #southafricanentrepreneurs #southafricanentrepreneur

Thank You Derivco!

View this post on Instagram

Learners poured their hearts out with thanks to @derivco for their Mandela Day visit. One of my favourite, "You inspired me to get into computer science and make something that people will love." True to our medium we made an animated card that we will share shortly. . . #derivco #mandeladay2018 #inspired

Practicing what we preach, we brought Derivco's Mandela Day thank you card to life. Too many thanks for one cartoon brain to handle.

Firing student pots made from clay he dug from the river! One day down another four days of stoking the fire to go. Mr. Mkhize is an amazingly dedicated art teacher. He is organising a student art show next week to show off these and other art his students have made. . If you know of a kiln willing to donate firing time for future projects please let us know . . #artteacher #dedicatedteacher #pottery #southafricanteacher #catomanor #chesterville #southafricanpottery #durban #southafrica

BBC Microbit - A New Tool to Learn to Create

View this post on Instagram

"I am amazing!" without hesitation the answer to what we should have our first ever microbit display. The microbit and learners are! It is packed with sensors and is programable through a number platforms notably MakeCode, ScratchX, and Scratch3 when it comes out in 2019. We saw some awesome game controllers using it at the conference and can't wait to see how it will be incorporated by learners into clothes they want to make and other projects. We talk a lot about getting ideas from your mind into the computer and now this will help us get them back out again. . . #microbit #bbcmicrobit #physicalcomputing #scratchmit #scratch3 #makecode #csforall #codingeducation #scratchx
