solving the skill shortage crisis in south africa

I-Innovate prepare students with the skills and competencies to overcome challenges and thrive in the future workforce. This is critical to support the Department of Education’s 2025 Action Plan, addressing South Africa’s education, skills, and STEAM crises.
  • We provide access to cutting-edge, hands-on STEAM curriculum and equipment to enhance essential skills and cultivate creativity and innovation in young learners.

  • We partner with stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and the private sector, to scale up and sustain STEAM initiatives across South Africa.

  • We train teachers and community-based facilitators, creating awareness among students, parents, caregivers about the importance of STEAM education and its potential to drive economic growth and social development.

These international programmes with I-Innovate activate the innate curiosity of young peoples. They foster discovery through real-world experiences and prepare them with the competencies that are necessary in the 21st century.

It was just so exciting and challenging. What I like about I-Innovate and these projects is that while it is difficult to come up with unique ideas and solutions to the problems we have, my mind just never fails to run wild.

Nabeelah Van Der Vent Student at the Cape Academy of Mathematics, Science and Technology

We are living in such unpredictable times, and sometimes our minds allow stress to catch up to us. However, I have found that using my time to focus on these programmes this year at home has helped with blocking out all the negativity, and allowed me to focus on the positive side of things. I really recommend that more students engage with I-Innovate in the future

Jeremy Domingos Student

It has been beyond exciting to host this live event with South African scouts and their international peers as they connected directly to the ISS this week and created lifelong memories while interacting with Drew Morgan in space. We are very proud to be a part of this international collaboration and to open up opportunities for these young people to be inspired to reach beyond perceived limitations and to dream big and achieve great things in the world.

Adressing Global Agenda

I-Innovate harnesses the power of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create an engaging and impactful educational experience for children, focusing on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education and conservation. By integrating these globally recognized goals into their curriculum, I-Innovate fosters a sense of purpose and responsibility in young learners. Each SDG serves as a framework for exploring real-world challenges, from clean energy to biodiversity preservation, igniting curiosity and critical thinking among students.

Through hands-on projects and interactive lessons, children not only grasp the fundamental principles of STEAM but also develop a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between innovation, environmental sustainability, and societal progress. By aligning their education with the SDGs, I-Innovate empowers the next generation with the skills and mindset needed to tackle complex issues and shape a more sustainable future.
