Ngomhla we-7 kuFebruwari 2026 i-Sheen Robotics yazisa irobhothi efana nomntu kubaphulaphuli boluntu okokuqala, kwinkomfa ye-STEAM eyabanjwa kunye neSebe leMfundo leNtshona Koloni kwiCape Teaching and Leadership Institute.

Igumbi elifanelekileyo lokuyenza kulo

I-CTLI, eKuils River, liziko leWCED lophuhliso lobungcali bootitshala — ibhaneli yalo ifundeka isithi "ukuhlwayela umdla wokufunda ngokuqhubekayo kobungcali nokuqambela". Inkomfa yakwazisa neGovan Mbeki Mathematics Development Centre yaseNelson Mandela University.

Ngamanye amazwi: yayiligumbi lootitshala nabaqeqeshi bootitshala, ingengabo abaphulaphuli bomboniso worhwebo. Yiyo leyo eyayiyinjongo. Irobhothi efana nomntu phambi koluntu ivusa imincili. Irobhothi efana nomntu phambi kwabantu abaza kugqiba ukuba isifundo se-STEAM siza kuba njani kwikota elandelayo ivusa imibuzo — nto leyo eluncedo kakhulu, nabaphulaphuli abanzima kakhulu.

Into esasiyithetha ngokwenene

Umboniso wawungelolo ityala lokuthengisa iirobhothi ezifana nabantu ezikolweni. Akukho mntu uza kufaka enye kwigumbi lokufundela leBanga le-6, kwaye nabani na othi kunjalo kufuneka akrokrelwe.

Ingxoxo yayimxinwa kwaye inokuxhaswa ngakumbi: itekhnoloji abantwana abalungiselelwa yona ifika ngokukhawuleza kunekharityhulam eyichazayo. Umfundi oqala iBanga le-8 ngo-2026 ungena emsebenzini malunga no-2035. Phakathi kwangoku naloo xesha, irobhothikhi iphuma kwiiseli zemveliso ingene kwiindawo ezakhelwe abantu — kwaye indlela igumbi lokufundela elichaza ngayo "irobhothi" njengemoto elandela umgca kwitrekhi eneteyiphu iya kuba idlulwe lixesha kakhulu.

Ukubona umatshini ohambayo, ozilinganisayo, wemisebenzi ngemisebenzi kufuphi kuyayitshintsha indlela umfundisi-ntsapho abamba ngayo loo nto. Ayisenguwo umbono oqikelelwayo kuxwebhu lomgaqo-nkqubo. Yinto esand' ukunqumla ikhaphethi.

Ootitshala babuza imibuzo engcono

Into ebuzwa ligumbi labafundisi-ntsapho asikokuba "ixabisa malini". Ngale:

• Yintoni ekufuneka umntwana ayiqonde phambi kokuba nayiphi na kule nto ibe nengqiqo?
• Zeziphi izifundo endinazo esele zikho oku kunxulumene ngokwenene nazo — kwaye zeziphi izibango zokubaluleka ezitsalwe ngokugqithisileyo?
• Ndingenza ntoni kwikota elandelayo, ngezixhobo esele ndinazo?
• Ndingakufundisa njani oku ngokunyaniseka ndingakugqithisi kwaye ndingakugatyi?

Loo mibuzo iwubumba umsebenzi wethu ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na ifom yempendulo yenkomfa. Inxalenye enkulu yoko kungena kwiinkqubo zethu zezikolo nakuqeqesho lootitshala luvela kwiintsuku ezinjengale.

Ukusuka eShanghai ukuya eKuils River

Kwiinyanga ezintathu ngaphambili sasithathe igqiza laseMzantsi Afrika salisa kwikomkhulu le-AgiBot eShanghai ukuze libone iirobhothi ezifana nabantu ezenziwa ngobuninzi phantsi kwifektri. Le yayilicala lokubuya — siyizisa ekhaya, phambi kwabantu ekubaluleke ngakumbi indlela abasabela ngayo.

Funda okungakumbi ngomsebenzi wethu werobhothikhi efana nomntu, okanye ubuze ngomboniso wesikolo okanye isithili sakho.
