Show me the Code.
Our Innovation story began during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a time in modern human history where everyone around the world had to practice social distancing, wear a mask and keep our hands clean, to protect us from the winds of death that was blowing around the world 🌎.
Schools closed down and technology took center stage as the most efficient way to connect with one another. From 2020 my students were learning computer coding skills online and were empowered with digital skills.
In December 2021 we were invited to Phendvuka Calvary Church to train the youth on digital skills empowerment and that was their moment to showcase the true impact of Competency Based Education, an educational approach where students advance by demonstrating mastery of specific skills and knowledge.
My young Techno Friends, still in primary school at that time, assisted in facilitating a week long digital skills workshop because they had the skills. Yes they were nervous but because they were in church in the presence of God, they were empowered with strength to share our knowledge and skills with courage and confidence.
1 John 4:4
You, little children, are from God and have overcome them ...You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
This ground breaking moment at Phendvuka Calvary Church stands as a testament, that learning can happen anywhere, skills sharing is not only limited to adults and teachers. The CBE is a great opportunity to allow the next generation of innovators to acquire skills that are relevant for the 21st century. Thank you Ministry of Education and Training Eswatini for endorsing the way forward. We appreciate you.
