MyMachine South Africa is preparing to launch once again in various schools in the Bergrivier Area. Before the start of this new chapter, it is important to close off the previous one.

We had the opportunity to officially hand over the machines that were invented in 2019 by Grade 1 learners.

Here follows footage from our visit to Hoërskool Piketberg, where the handover ceremony of the dream machine, Max Flash, took place.

Once again thank you to Mrs Koen, Mrs Stapelberg and Mrs Schreuder for joining us.

Hi there everyone. Please join us as we celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day! 😃.

Today is World Creativity and Innovation Day. Probably one of the most important topics in the world. We exist because of Creativity and take proud in the fact that our work has been selected for the Spotlight on Creativity by HundrED and the LEGO Foundation. All of us at MyMachine are so fortunate....

On the 26th of November 2020 ICA hosted a local exhibition of the machines that were created by primary school children in four schools in the Bergrivier area. The guests were some of the learners that participated in the process up until the development of the working prototype. We had a fun filled day with the kids as they saw the machines for the first time and had a chance to also play with these machines
