Ngo-2025 i-Raspberry Pi Foundation yapapasha uxwebhu lwesimo olubizwa ngokuba yi-"Why kids still need to learn to code in the age of AI". Ingongoma yalo esisiseko ichanile: ukufundisa abantwana ukubhala ikhowudi kukubafundisa ukucinga ngokucacileyo, kwaye isixhobo esikubhalela ikhowudi asiyisusi imfuneko yokuqonda ukuba ikhowudi elungileyo yenza ntoni. Loo ngxoxo ichanile, kodwa ithantamisa. Uhlobo olomeleleyo lwale ngxoxo lumalunga nekhompyutha ephathekayo, oko kukuthi ikhowudi ekufuneka ishukumise i-motor, ifunde isensa, kwaye imelane nokudibana nehlabathi lokwenene.

Luthini olu xwebhu, kwaye kutheni lufumene indlebe

Eli sekelo, elenza iikhompyutha ezincinane ze-Raspberry Pi ezisetyenziswa kumagumbi okufundela ehlabathini lonke, libeke igama lalo kwisimo esilula: ukubhala ikhowudi kusesesona sakhono sisisiseko kubantwana, nangoku xa iinkqubo ze-AI zinokuvelisa ikhowudi ngesicelo. Oku kufanelwe kukuqatshelwa kuba imbono echasene noku sele iqhelekile kumagumbi ootitshala nasetafileni yesidlo sangokuhlwa. Ukuba umatshini uyakwazi ukuyibhala inkqubo, itsho njalo ingcinga, kutheni umntwana oneminyaka elishumi efanele ukufunda ukuyibhala.

Impendulo enyanisekileyo kukuba ukuvelisa umbhalo okhangeleka njengekhowudi nokuqonda inkqubo zizakhono ezimbini ezahlukeneyo. Umntwana onokunika i-AI umyalelo kodwa angakwazi ukusifunda isiphumo asingomqulunqi wenkqubo; ngumntu othemba ukuba umatshini uchanile. Ixabiso lolu xwebhu kukuba lukutsho oku ngokungqalileyo ngexesha apho izikolo ezininzi zizibuza buthule ukuba ziyisuse na ikhowudi kwithayimtheyibhile.

Ingxoxo eqhelekileyo, ibekwe ngeyona ndlela yomeleleyo

Yihlube le ngxoxo uyise esiqwini sayo, isamile kakuhle.

• Ukufunda kubaluleke ngaphezu kokubhala. Isakhono esinqabileyo kwihlabathi le-AI asikokuchwetheza ikhowudi uqala phantsi; kukufunda ikhowudi ongayaziyo uze ugwebe ukuba ichanile na, ikhuselekile na, kwaye yenza na oko bekuceliwe. Uyifunda loo nto kuphela ngokubhala eyakho eninzi kuqala.
• Ukukhupha iimpazamo kukucinga. Ukufumanisa ukuba kutheni inkqubo isenza into engachananga ngumkhwa wengqondo osebenza naphi na. Yenza uluvo, uluvavanye, ulunciphise. Eso sakhono siphila ixesha elide kunalo naluphi na ulwimi.
• Umncedisi ufuna umqhubi onobuchule. Izixhobo ze-AI zokubhala ikhowudi zikhawuleza kakhulu ezandleni zomntu osele esazi ukuba isisombululo esilungileyo sikhangeleka njani. Nikela esona sixhobo kumntu osaqalayo size sivelise into engenangqiqo ekhutshwe ngokuzithemba, into lowo usaqalayo angenakukwazi ukuyibamba.

Akukho nanye kwezi zinto ephikisanwayo. Kwakhona ayanelanga ngokwayo, kuba yonke ingongoma engentla inokufundiswa ngesikrini nomhleli wombhalo, kwaye izikrini kanye kanye kulapho i-AI ikholisa kakhulu kwaye itshelela kakhulu.

Uhlobo olomeleleyo: yenza ikhowudi ishukumise into

Nantsi inkcazo eyongezelelweyo olu xwebhu lukhankanya ngayo kodwa lungayityhaleli phambili ngokwaneleyo. Eyona ndlela imelana ne-AI yokufunda ukubhala ikhowudi kukwenza ikhowudi ilawule into ephathekayo. Xa inkqubo ibhala esikrinini kuphela, impendulo ithambile. Isiphumo sikhangeleka sinokwenzeka, kwaye impendulo engachananga ekhutshwe ngokuzithemba kunzima ukuyibona. Xa loo nkqubo inye ifanele ukujikelezisa ivili, idanyazise i-LED ngendlela ethile, okanye imise irobhothi phambi kokuba ibethe etafileni, impendulo inyanisekile. Irobhothi iyahamba okanye ayihambi. Akukho ndlela yokuziqambela into udlule i-motor engavumiyo ukujika.

Olu lolona ncedo luthe cwaka lwekhompyutha ephathekayo. Imodeli enkulu yolwimi inokuvelisa ingcaciso evakala ilungile phantse kuyo yonke into. Ufundo lwesensa alunakuphikiswa. Abantwana abasebenza ngezixhobo eziphathekayo bafumana inyaniso engenakuphikiswa simahla, kwaye leyo nyaniso yiyo into engenakuyiqamba i-AI ngenxa yabo. Bafunda ukuthemba ihlabathi kunomhlathi okhutshwe ngokuzithemba.

Kutheni oku kubalulekile kumagumbi okufundela oMzantsi Afrika

Kwizikolo zalapha imiba ebambekayo ithe ngqo. Uhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lunqongophele, ixesha lootitshala linqongophele ngakumbi, kwaye kukho uxinzelelo lokwenene lokuleqa nantoni na evakala ilihlabathi lanamhlanje. Kungaba lula ukuthatha eli xesha le-AI njengemvume yokubeka izifundo ezimbalwa zokunika imiyalelo endaweni yokubhala ikhowudi ngezandla. Leyo ingaba yimpazamo, ebiza kakhulu, kuba abantwana abafunda ukunika imiyalelo kuphela baya kugqibela benolona hlobo lubhityileyo nolulula ukutshintshwa lwesi sakhono.

Olona luvo lungcono lolo eli sekelo lisalathayo: qhubeka ufundisa ukubhala ikhowudi kokwenene, uze ukumise kwinto umntwana anokuyibamba. Oku kwakhona kuqinile ngakumbi kunekharityhulam ecinga ukuba i-AI yelifu ikhona kuso sonke isifundo. Ibhodi esebenza ngebhetri etafileni iyaqhubeka isebenza xa i-Wi-Fi ingasebenzi, into ebalulekileyo kwilizwe apho ukucinywa kombane kusaphazamisa usuku lwesikolo.

Yintoni omawuyenze ngale nto

Ukuba uqhuba igumbi lokufundela, iklabhu yekhowudi, okanye ikhaya elizama ukwenza isigqibo esilungileyo, nalu uluhlu olufutshane lokujonga.

• Gcina ukubhala, ungatsibeli ekunikeni imiyalelo. Abantwana kufuneka babhale kwaye balungise iimpazamo kwikhowudi yabo eninzi phambi kokuba umncedisi we-AI avunyelwe ukunceda. Umncedisi sisixhobo esinamandla sabantu abasele benazo iziseko.
• Yongeza usukelo oluphathekayo. Khetha iiprojekthi apho ikhowudi iqhuba izixhobo zokwenene, ukuze iimpazamo zibonakale njengezinto ezingahambiyo endaweni yeempendulo ezikhangeleka zingachananga nje. Ibhodi enokupogremwa efana ne-sheenbot∞ yethu inika loo sangqa sempendulo ekhawulezayo, kwaye iseti yeklasi yezikhwama ezilishumi yanela iqela elincinane.
• Sebenzisa i-AI njengomqeqeshi, hayi njengombhali. Iluncedo ngokwenene ekucaciseni umyalezo wempazamo okanye ekucebiseni inyathelo elilandelayo. Kodwa ayinakuthatha ngokwaneleyo indawo yomntwana ocinga ngokwakhe.
• Yibone ngamehlo phambi kokuba uzibophelele. Iprojekthi enye esebenza ngokwenene ingaphezu kwekota yethiyori. Isifundo sovavanyo esinye kwiakhademi yethu yaseKapa sanele ukuxelela ukuba umntwana uyayithanda na.

Isishwankathelo

I-Raspberry Pi Foundation ichanile xa isithi abantwana basadinga ukubhala ikhowudi kweli xesha le-AI, kodwa le ngxoxo yomelele ngaphezu kwezakhono zokucinga zodwa. Uhlobo olufanelwe kukwakhelwa phezulu lolu luphathekayo: nika abantwana ikhowudi ekufuneka ishukumise into ebambekayo, uze ubanike uhlobo lokuqonda i-AI engenakubanika lona kwaye engenakulumba. Eso sesona sakhono siya kubaluleka nangexesha izixhobo zitshintsha kwakhona. Ukuze ufunde ngakumbi ngendlela esicinga ngayo ngale nto, jonga kwigumbi lethu leendaba.
