Zululand schoolgirls empowered through coding

A group of high school girls from Qhakaza High School in Dlangezwa were recently selected to participate in an informative workshop on IT fundamentals.

There were 47 girls from the Grade 9 classes that attended the ‘Code like a girl’ programme hosted by Vodacom at the University of Zululand from 30 June to 2 July.

“We are very impressed by the confidence and skills our learners gained from the workshop,” said Qhakaza High School teachers Mr Khayelihle Ndwandwe (computer applications technology) and Mr Sakhile Ndlovu (mathematics).

“The project showcases their creativity and problem-solving abilities. It has clearly inspired them to think outside the box and push the boundaries of coding.

“The skills and knowledge they have acquired are impressive, they demonstrated a great understanding of coding concepts. We are very grateful for the opportunity Vodacom has given us. It was a fruitful workshop indeed,” they said.
