Robotics and coding is the future believes Curro Salt Rock
Robotics teacher Ingrid Hoffman notes that one of the many rewards of being a robotics teacher is the exuberance when learners grasp coding and come up with ideas to solve problems.
Curro Salt Rock has championed coding and robotics since 2013, so successfully that the school’s learners have represented South Africa on the international stage.
Primary school teacher Ingrid Hoffman has been instrumental in developing young minds in this discipline since 2016.
She is an internationally certified World Robotics Olympiad judge, and has acted in this role in many international World Robotics Olympiad competitions, including in Thailand in 2018 and Hungary in 2019.
Hoffman has also been invited to participate in the 2024 event to be held in Turkey. Internationally certified judges only qualify after years of experience, judging on provincial and national competition level.
Curro Salt Rock was this year the proud host of the KZN division of the World Robotics Olympiad, in which 53 teams competed to qualify for the national event.
Robotics and coding is the future. It helps learners to think critically, creatively and collaboratively.
She notes that one of the many rewards of being a robotics teacher is the exuberance when learners start to recognise coding and come up with ideas to solve problems.
At Curro, coding and robotics are integrated into the curriculum from Grade R to Grade 7.
