From robotics in our primary schools to building a smart city from scratch, the future for SA and its innovation could be brightJudging by the recent state of the nation address , South Africans have reason to feel optimistic. This is especially the case when looking at the positive digital transformation initiatives announced that are designed to position the country for significant economic growth.The first is that of bringing coding and robotics to primary schools.
Furthermore, it is one thing to provide learners with the tools at school, but many of them will go back to a home in which these things do not exist. A structured programme must be put in place that addresses these concerns across all schools in the country. After all, you cannot leave Grade R to Grade 3 pupils unsupervised playing educational games and hope the programme will work.
In many respects, building such a smart city from scratch as the government intends to do is easier than taking, for example, downtown Johannesburg and trying to transform it. While it does require significant infrastructural investments and partnerships between multi-disciplinary groups across technology, engineering, environment, and civil society, the journey must start somewhere.
