Volunteer Feedback

In hopes to extend the impact of our project by collabrating with local STEM ambassdors we connected with students and lecturers to come along and help deliver our workshops! It was a valuable opportunity for everyone involved and ultimately allowed us to reach more students as we had more pairs of hands! Continue reading this blog to see what the volunteers thought about our workshops.

Prof Enoch Ogunmuyiwa, professor of materials at BIUST

“The impact of your workshop today is significant. Especially in the Botswana context. Education these days is no longer an education of classes but of hands-on. The seed of what the team has planted this day I tell you is going to grow into something big in them. It is going to motivate them for a better future.”

Tsholofelo Tomtom, mechatronics and industrial engineering students at BIUST

“The students were very enthusiastic and showed interest in what we came with, eager to learn and came up with different ways of tackling the problems. I liked that we gave them a platform where they were able to express themselves and explore the theories which they learn in class and be able to use their hands to practice what they learn in the classroom.”

Kealeboga Mathiba, chemical engineering graduate from BIUST

“I loved the fact that the kids were so free to learn and answer different questions even though some of them were really reserved. They came up with completely different ways to solve a similar problem which was very mind-blowing.”

Gofiwa Koma, computer science student at University of Botswana

“Everything which they have just learnt is really paramount to whatever they are learning in class and is a connection of theory and the practical so they get to see the theory being put to practise, which is what I loved. It is not just demonstrations, it is linked to their learning.”
