Seseko, in partnership with Microsoft South Africa, has completed the first phase of its AI, robotics and coding programme, reaching 48 under resourced schools across all nine provinces.
The initiative is aimed at preparing learners for a more digital future by introducing hands on learning through robotics kits and coding tools inside classrooms.
Teachers also received specialised training to help integrate technology into everyday lessons, strengthening digital education delivery.
The programme is expected to expand further as partners work to widen access to tech skills for more learners across the country.

Young innovators from across South Africa were recognised at the CIPC IP Youth Awards held at Montecasino in Johannesburg, where creativity and entrepreneurship took centre stage.
