🚀 Making STEM practical, engaging and meaningful.
Approximately 40 Grade 9 learners at LEAP 1 took part in a hands-on STEM Water Rocket Project with the Stellenbosch University STEM team
Through designing, testing and experimenting, learners explored how concepts like force, pressure, measurement and design apply to real-world challenges — while strengthening their curiosity, critical thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
For The Ubuntu Maths Institute (UMI), experiences like these bring learning beyond the classroom and help young people see themselves as problem-solvers, creators and future innovators.
