Ngomhla ka-2 Novemba 2025 i-Sheen yaba yingxenye yebootcamp ye-STEM yeBanga 9 eCeres, iqhuba imihlangano yokusebenza yokubhala ikhodi neyamarobhothi kanye neqembu lekharikhulamu loMnyango wezeMfundo waseNtshonalanga Kapa.

IBanga 9 yilona nyaka obalulekile

Kuyo yonke iminyaka yesikole ongafinyelela kuyo, iBanga 9 yilona elinamandla amakhulu kunawo wonke — ngoba yiwo unyaka lapho abafundi baseNingizimu Afrika bekhetha khona izifundo zesigaba se-FET, futhi lezo zinqumo azibuyiseleki.

Umfundi ongayithathi imathematika uvale imizila eminingi yobunjiniyela, yamakhompyutha neyesayensi engakabi neminyaka eyishumi nesithupha. Ngokuvamile leso sinqumo sithathwa engakaze abone ukuthi lowo mnyango ovaliwe uholela kuphi. Akusona isinqumo ngamakhono; yisinqumo esithathwa ngenxa yokungabi nolwazi.

Ibootcamp ayikwazi ukulungisa ikharikhulamu. Ekwaziyo ukukwenza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uma umfundi waseCeres ethatha leso sinqumo, ukhetha enento ebambekayo engqondweni kunokukhetha engenalutho.

Esakuqhuba

Ingxenye yethu kwakuyimihlangano yokusebenza yokubhala ikhodi neyamarobhothi: izifundo zokuzenzela lapho abafundi bakha, bahlele, bephule futhi balungise into ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ukungena okusheshayo, imiphumela ebonakalayo, futhi akudingeki ukuthi umuntu abe esekwenzile lokhu ngaphambili.

Isimo sebootcamp siyasiza lapha. Emihlanganweni elandelanayo umfundi udlula ekumangaleni okusha angene engxenyeni lapho izinto ziyeka khona ukusebenza — okuyilapho ukufunda kwangempela kukhona, nalapho ukubonisa kwehora elilodwa kungeke kufinyelele khona.

Kungani iCeres, nokuthi kungani kwathatha usuku lonke sishayela

ICeres isemasipaleni waseWitzenberg, eCape Winelands. Yindawo yezolimo, amahora ambalwa ukusuka eKapa, futhi ikude kakhulu nomzila abaningi abahlinzeki bezobuchwepheshe abawuthathayo.

Yilona kanye lelo phuzu elenza kufaneleke ukuya khona. Abafundi basedolobheni elikhulu bangahlangana namarobhothi esikhungweni sesayensi, embukisweni wasenxanxatheleni yezitolo, ekilabhini yesikole noma ekamu lamaholide. Abafundi basedolobhaneni lasemakhaya bangase bahlangane nawo kanye kuphela, uma bengahlangana nhlobo — okwenza ibootcamp eyodwa eqhutshwe kahle ibaluleke lapho ngokweqile kunosuku olufanayo oluchithwe edolobheni.

Kufanele futhi kushiwo ngokusobala: umkhakha wezobuchwepheshe laba bafundi abethulwa kuwo awukho kwenye indawo. Ezolimo eNtshonalanga Kapa zisebenzisa izinzwa, ukulawula ukunisela nokuya ngokuya kuzenzakalela. Umsebenzi wezolimo ezihlakaniphile esiwenza kwenye indawo kulo mlando akuwona umfanekiso kulaba bafundi — yimboni esemnyango wabo.

Ukusebenza ne-WCED

Amabootcamp ethu esiwaqhuba ngokubambisana noMnyango wezeMfundo waseNtshonalanga Kapa ayingxenye yomsebenzi wethu wokufinyelela umphakathi enabile kunazo zonke, futhi asebenza ngokwahlukaniswa okulula komsebenzi: uMnyango uyabazi abafundi abakudingayo lokhu futhi ungabahlanganisa; thina siletha izikhwama zamathuluzi, ikharikhulamu nabantu abakwazi ukuphatha igumbi eliphithizelayo.

Bona okwengeziwe mayelana namabootcamp nemihlangano yokusebenza yethu, noma ufunde ngalokho esikuqhuba ezikoleni.
