Science should be fun! SUNSTEP tries to encourage, motivate and inspire learners with regards to Science and Technology. In order to achieve this goal, we offer training workshops for Science and Technology educators as well as the Electrical and Electronic kits, which is used as a practical to enhance the theory learned.
Our electronic kits as well as the Educator and Learner Manuals have been designed and written by SUNSTEP and approved by the Western Cape Education Department.
The workshops have proven to be an wonderful success, as educators as well as the learners enjoy the practical assembling and soldering of the electronic kits. Another plus point for the educator is that no prior knowledge is needed to partake in the workshops. SUNSTEP is a tool provided by the University of Stellenbosch to empower teachers and sustain OBE in the classroom.
The best way to improve the technological awareness and capability of learners is through hands-on experience. We have developed and refined a series of electronics kits which are both informative and easy to build. By training educators to assemble these kits, we give them an invaluable tool with which to teach their learners about the wonders of Science and Electronics.
We specifically target Science learners in Grades 10 to 12 , as well as Technology learners Grades 7 to 9.
