600 learners will participate in the Resolute Roboticon this year.
The event is hosted by Resolute Education and Oxford University Press South Africa as a way to grow STEM education in South Africa.
Schools from as far as the United Arab Emirates will be heading to the capital city to compete in the competition. This year the theme is “City of the Future” and learners will cook up modern solutions for real world problems. The goal is to highlight how edtech can assist learners, many of whom will enter the workforce doing jobs that don’t even exist yet.
“The world is moving so quickly that technology has become an everyday part of our lives, making it even more important to teach kids tech skills as early as possible,” says Rajesh Pasungili Ramakrishnan, Co-Founder and CEO of Resolute Education. “A competition like this provides kids with the opportunity to solve the real-world problems we face today.”
“We want to take what is happening in the classroom and apply it to real-world experiences outside the classroom. It’s amazing to see parents witness their kids interacting with, facing, and overcoming challenges during the competition,” says Gareth Thompson, Co-Founder and CPO of Resolute Education.
