The STEM Education Blog: Coding, Robotics & AI
Practical guidance on coding, robotics and AI for South African classrooms — for teachers, school leaders and parents.
Inside the STEM education blog
Every article on this STEM education blog is written for the people actually running South African classrooms — not for a generic global audience. That means real dates, real pricing, real competition names, and real tools, rather than vague advice that could apply anywhere. Where a post mentions a workshop date or an entry deadline, it's because that's the actual date, checked before publishing, not a placeholder. If a tool or product is named, it's because we've actually used it with a school, not because it paid for the mention.
Robotics & competitions
Kit approvals, competition eligibility, and how to prepare a team for events like the World Robot Olympiad and CMAC, from first entry to competition day.
Exhibitions & events
Where to find us in person, what's launching next, and how to plan a visit to our stand so it's worth the trip.
AI in the classroom
Practical frameworks for teachers using AI for lesson planning, grading, and admin, without adding a second job on top of teaching.
Parenting & digital safety
Practical, judgement-free guidance for families navigating screens, apps, and online risk at home, without turning parenting into surveillance.
Not sure where to start?
Teachers preparing for a competition should start with the robotics articles; anyone rolling out AI tools in a department should start with the AI section. The STEM education blog is updated every term, so it's worth checking back regularly as our product line and workshop calendar evolve throughout the year.
Written from real conversations
Each post comes from real conversations with the schools, coaches, and parents we work with directly — which is why the STEM education blog tends to read like field notes rather than marketing copy. Missing a topic? Our contact page is always open, and there's a mix of formats here: quick updates, longer strategy pieces, and step-by-step guides, for whatever stage your school is at with coding, robotics, or classroom AI.
