Across South Africa, schools are preparing learners for a future shaped by technology. At PnS Group, we believe that the journey begins with practical, joyful learning. It starts in classrooms where children can explore, build, code, and solve real-world problems together.
That belief is what brought us to Voortrekker Eeufees Primary School in Pretoria, where we partnered with the Potato Foundation to establish a Robotics Lab designed to turn curiosity into capability.
To ensure the lab was ready from day one, we equipped it with a comprehensive range of age-appropriate robotics tools and curriculum-aligned learning resources, giving both learners and educators everything they need to begin with confidence.
Building strong foundations
Our donation included 17 SA Toy Trade Coding & Robotics Kits, giving learners hands-on opportunities to explore coding concepts through blocks, sensors and simple mechanisms. We also supplied 17 Touch & Count Cubes and five 6 Bricks sets, helping younger learners develop sequencing, pattern recognition, numeracy, and fine motor skills through play.
Supporting teachers
Great technology is only as powerful as the educators who bring it to life. To support classroom delivery, we provided 15 Shuters Teacher Guides and 15 Learner Workbooks, equipping teachers with structured lesson plans, assessments and practical learning activities aligned to the curriculum.
Growing future innovators
As learners progress, so do the opportunities to challenge and inspire them. The lab includes 12 StemLab Weee Core Bot AIoT Programming Robots, allowing learners to explore programming, sensors, obstacle detection and data-driven projects.
For younger grades, 18 CreateSpace Matata Studio Tale Bot Pro robots introduce coding in an engaging, screen-free environment before transitioning to visual programming.
To inspire creativity and advanced problem-solving, the lab also features a CreateSpace Makerzoid Robot Master Premium Kit, giving learners the opportunity to design, build and innovate through more complex robotics challenges.
Why this matters
Every learner deserves the opportunity to develop the skills that will shape tomorrow. By creating learning pathways that grow with each child, supporting teachers with quality resources and making STEM education practical and engaging, this Robotics Lab becomes far more than a classroom.
It becomes a space where confidence grows, teamwork flourishes and young minds discover what they are capable of achieving.
By the numbers
- More than sixty-three robotics and learning kits supplied across multiple age groups
- More than forty-five teacher and learner resources provided to support classroom delivery
- 12 AIoT-enabled robotics kits for advanced learning
- One flagship Makerzoid robotics kit to inspire innovation, collaboration, and future robotics clubs
Together with the Potato Foundation and Voortrekker Eeufees Primary School, we are helping to create opportunities that empower the next generation of problem-solvers, innovators and future leaders.
