The training is more complex today: extrusions; time and location to place the right lighting; moving solids and cutting through them; working alone on challenging worksheets and everyone is coping well.
Maritzburg College is proving to be a special place to train; here we are fed like kings and queens; the boys are respectful and greet us: Morning Maám; Morning Sir…makes me feel old
The trainers are engrossed in the process of learning and during a meeting we had over lunch today to talk about the rolling out of the programme there was consensus to replicate as a team across KZN. It is patently clear that nobody can do this solo; we are all integral parts of this puzzle and together we are a formidable team. The trainers are excited to train others and to implement a joint strategy provincially; more sponsorship is needed to install hardware into schools. We all know this; what we are also very aware of is the importance of making sure we have traction in the schools we implement our strategy with; these success stories inspire more investment and interest.
My primary excitement about this is the relation to real life software used in industry; real life situations linked to maths concepts; a connection to the technical industry on many levels: engineering and draughting…in an arena where there are global shortages….to be given the opportunity to impact here is such a privilege.
Another day down and more learning and excitement around where this programme can be used; the trainers have identified that this can be used in GET; FET and intermediate phase at school; the impact is going to be immensely positive..
