STET-ORTSA Unplugged Coding in Sedibeng is proving that you do not need a computer to bring computational thinking to life!
Through teacher training and interactive learner sessions, educators and students are using storytelling, games, dancing and Dory the Dragon to explore directions, patterns, sequences, and loops. Learners are reading and creating block-based pseudocode, developing critical-thinking skills, and even coding their own names.
As Tjhaba-Tsatsi Primary School teacher Vuyelwa Mtembu shared, "I never knew that coding could be so much fun." Unplugged Coding makes learning playful, accessible, and creative, equipping the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators. The journey continues in Sedibeng, one story and one block at a time.
