Distributors of the software in Southern Africa, Sangari Education, is inviting Teachers to participate in a CoderZ webinar to guide students, from Grade 3 to Grade 12, on how to participate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe webinar will be held on 1 March 2023 at 3:00 p.m. EST (10pm SAST) on Microsoft Teams and will provide information on how to prepare for this premier international competition where students develop and employ their coding and robotics skills through team-based missions,\u201d said Bez Sangari, MD of Sangari Education.<\/p>\n<p>Spring CoderZ League 2023 is designed to introduce students to coding through gamified missions and competitions, improving engagement in STEM learning with hands-on experience. \u201cThey will practice and apply 21st century skills \u2013 critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity is maximized in real-time competition. Students of any skill level can participate, and teachers do not need experience in coding,\u201d Mr Sangari explained.<\/p>\n<p>CoderZ is an the acclaimed STEM robotic learning software for pupils from six years and older and used by Amazon for its Future Engineer competition that attracts hundreds of thousands of students worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>CoderZ is an online learning environment similar to gaming software that can be accessed from anywhere in the world for programming real and virtual robots. \u201cThe platform enables students to acquire computational thinking, problem solving and creativity skills, together with coding and STEM learning, all via a flexible and scalable virtual robotic coding solution,\u201d said Mr Sangari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoderZ leverages technology to maximise the four Cs of education: Critical thinking, Collaboration, Creativity and Communication. It is built on these principles to strengthen STEM learning for preparing today\u2019s pupils for tomorrow\u2019s careers. The role of STEM and computer science will be pivotal for students when the future job market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sangari believes that STEM and Computer Science education are essential for the future and should be universally available to all students. \u201cCoderZ as a platform makes it easy for all students to learn and for educators to teach, without prior coding experience, using robots to bring the subject matter to life and a state-of-the-art training solutions for Industry 4.0. By augmenting skills training, introducing new areas of study specific to Industry 4.0 and integrating these into comprehensive programmes, children of six years upwards to high school can be introduced to advanced industry 4.0 training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the installation of CoderZ is simple. No expensive equipment is needed and learning is self-paced. Tools, guides and progress tracking are provided for teachers and parents. \u201cThe majority of educators interviewed said they would recommend CoderZ for teaching computer science and STEM the gamified way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch CoderZ tutorial: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bi8bawz93vc<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">82<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/robotics-programming-league-launches-for-sa-schools\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
