TechnoAfrika Academy NPC

We are a start-up Science Centre that supports and promote Science, Technology and Innovation in Schools and Communities through Science Awareness and Engagement, in Steve Tshwete Municipality and the wider Nkangala District To turn this around, Africa needs educated, skilled and literate citizens to help fight poverty, grow sustainable communities, and develop a successful continent with thriving economies. With little or no access to education for disadvantaged children, less educational infrastructure and learning resources, children and disadvantaged youth face battles in achieving their dreams, educating themselves or developing their families and communities. It is within this background and context which leads to the formation of Technology for Africa (TechnoAfrica) formally known and registered as IT4SaSchools. TechnoAfrica believes that educating our people and technologically empowering disadvantaged communities is one of the strongest catalyst for change that will help Africa in fighting poverty and building sustainable communities. As TechnoAfrica we target use of technology in education not as an end to itself, but as a means to an end. Facing the future with an education of the past means African communities always lag behind, and never fully realise their potential. Given the global connectedness of issues, today our learners can only be tomorrow’s leaders if their education is reflective of future demands. The idea behind the formation of TechnoAfrica is to unpack the value of students, enabling them to make meaningful contribution to development. This requires individuals who can learn unlearn and relearn instantly in response to a dynamic environment. Such flexibility can only be guaranteed and entrenched through technological based learning. TechnoAfrica believes in the following:

 Poverty is unacceptable in the 21st century
 Education is the key to alleviating poverty
 Technology has the ability to radically improve education and livelihood
