Who are we?

Our purpose

School subject Science and Technology complementation. Introducing learners to a career possibility in Engineering and Technology. We promote Science, Engineering and Technology (SET). We also actively assist with Science Clubs and Science weeks and have been involved with Science Camps and Space weeks. We encourage learners to choose Mathematics and Science.



A success story

With an influence on 205867 learners and 9039 teachers after thirteen years, SUNSTEP is making a tremendous impact as a help to Science and Technology educators and getting learners excited about these learning areas.

Learners love the fun, dynamic "hands and minds-on" approach followed and as a result many have realised that the ability to study towards engineering is  within their reach.


Services offered

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.
