Izifunda zezikole ze-K-12 zibhekene nemikhawulo yehadiwe njengoba izindlela ze-STEM zisuka emisebenzini eyisingeniso esekelwe kuwebhu ziya kubunjiniyela obusezingeni eliphakeme, kuma-robotics nakusayensi yedatha. E-Sunnyvale, e-California, iqembu lamarobhothi elithi "Firebots" e-Fremont High School lakubonisa lokhu kushintsha ngesikhathi lilungiselela umncintiswano womhlaba wonke i-FIRST Robotics Competition. Ukuze lisebenzise isofthiwe esindayo yokuklama ngekhompiyutha (CAD) efana ne-SolidWorks yokwakha imifanekiso enezingxenye eziningi neyokulinga ukubekezelela ingcindezi, iqembu ladlula kumadivayisi ajwayelekile anikezwa yisikole lakhetha amalaptop e-ASUS TUF Gaming. La mandla okucubungula asendaweni enza ukuhlanganiswa kwekhodi, ukurekhoda idatha nokwenza imifanekiso ye-3D kwahamba kahle, ekugcineni asiza iqembu ukuthi linqobe i-FIRST Excellence in Engineering Award.

Lolu shintsho lugqamisa ukungqubuzana okukhulayo ekuthengweni kwetheknoloji yemfundo. Nakuba amadivayisi asezingeni lokungena njengamaChromebook akwazile ukwakha isisekelo sokwazi idijithali, awakwazi ukumelana namandla okucubungula asendaweni, inkumbulo eqinile nokucubungula imifanekiso okukhethekile okudingwa yizinhlelo ze-STEM ezisezingeni lemboni. Uma ihadiwe ingakwazi ukuhambisana nomsebenzi, abafundi babhekana nokubambezeleka kokwakhiwa kwemifanekiso, ukudonda kwesofthiwe nokuwa kwesistimu, okususa isikhathi esibalulekile sasekilasini ekuphindaphindeni kobunjiniyela kusiyise ekuxazululeni izinkinga zobuchwepheshe.

Ezikoleni zaseNingizimu Afrika ezibhekene nokwethulwa ngezigaba kwekharikhulamu yokuBhala Amakhodi Namarobhothi yoMnyango wezeMfundo eyisiSekelo, lo mkhuba ugqamisa into ebalulekile okumele icatshangelwe ekuhleleni: nakuba amathebulethi ashibhile namalaptop asezingeni lokungena anele ekubhaleni ikhodi ngezingxenye ezikoleni zamabanga aphansi, izindlela zobunjiniyela nezama-robotics ezikoleni zamabanga aphakeme zizogcina zidinga ukutshalwa kwemali okuqondile kwihadiwe esebenza ngamandla.
