Our Projects

In celebration of Mandela Month, We partnered with Accenture South Africa in hosting a #STEMHackathon on the 20th of July 2019. The event was held at Impact Hub JHB were 45 young enthusiasts from Alexandra, Diepsloot and Olievenhoutbosch into six groups. The first three groups were tasked to build a telegraph out of everyday objects—which introduces them to the variety of electrical components and their implementation for communications. The remaining three were tasked in building robotic models out of cardboard and straws—also introducing them to the anatomical structure of the human hand—before conducting trials via Excel to spot flaws in their design.

Over the course of 2017 and 2018, we implemented digital skills training on behalf of Google Africa for Grade 12 learners, unemployed youth between 15-35 years and Township based Small Business owners based in townships. We worked with 14 youth trainers in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo to roll out the much-needed skills in underserviced areas.

We partnered with Siemens Stiftung and Impact Hub Johannesburg in 2017-2018 as lead implementor in the development of the Siemens Makerspace situated at Impact Hub. The Makerspace took in three ideation/concept entrepreneurs that have a need a working space to create, develop and test their products as well as equip themselves with business development skills.
