At Simon van der Stel Primary School, we are proud to offer Coding and Robotics for learners from Grade R to Grade 7, equipping them with essential skills for the modern, digital world.
This exciting programme is presented by a specialist coding and robotics company, who works with learners on our school premises during school hours as well as after school.
What Is Coding and Robotics?
Coding and robotics introduce learners to computer thinking, logic, and problem-solving. Through age-appropriate, hands-on activities, learners learn how to:
- Understand how technology works
- Create simple programs and instructions
- Build and interact with robotic devices
- Think logically and creatively
- Work collaboratively with others
The programme is structured to grow with the learner — from playful introductions in Grade R to more advanced coding and robotics skills in the Intermediate and Senior Phases.
How the Programme Works
- Lessons are presented by trained instructors
- Activities are practical, engaging, and fun
- Content is tailored to each grade level
