According to Ward 72 councillor Kevin Southgate, 16 learners will be participating in the contest.
“Some of the learners that are part of the team come from Ward 72 and one of the learner’s parents asked if I could assist with financing the trip.
I wrote to the mayor and the City agreed to sponsor each of the children. As a result they gave R2 500 per child, which was a total of R32 500 in total for 16 learners.”
The teenagers are leaving on Sunday 2 July.
“I am very encouraged to learn that we have several young people from our community that (are) part of this robotics team and they are going to the US to compete in a competition.
“When I was approached to assist I thought we should do anything to help our young people.
“I was also very impressed when they took me on a tour of the academy and it was so interesting.”
Haadiyah Slamang (15), a learners at CAMST, says their team often take part in competitions.
“We are going over to participate in the Chicago competition and we always reach out to different schools and sometimes start new teams.
“Our robotics team has a engineering side, business and robotics and coding, we have meeting logs that keep track of everything that we do.
“We also make an engineering portfolio which is part of all the designs we have.”
Slamang says she enjoys coding and hopes to have a career in mechatronic engineering.
“I enjoy coding and reaching out to communities. I am very excited that we are also entering different competitions at regional and national level.”

MATHEMAGIC at the CAPE ACADEMY (15 Feb 2023)
Learners had the privilege to be addressed by NASA Deputy Associate Administrator for Space Communications and Navigation, Mr. Badri Younes.
The space talk focussed on NASA’s space science research and how space communications enables this mission and discussed on how space communications works. Learners were also introduced to NASA’s Artemis program of returning humans to the Moon, and South Africa’s role in enabling this. This inspiring talk gave learners also insight on careers in the Aerospace Industry.
