Across the Vaal Triangle, schools are preparing to implement Coding & Robotics as part of the national curriculum.

​

But coding does not begin with computers. It begins with thinking.

​

The amaKhodi Foundation Phase Coding Initiative is a hands-on coding readiness program designed for Grades R–3. This outreach forms part of TekSense’s long-term community engagement strategy as an aspiring Inspire Award team in the global FIRST Tech Challenge.

 

Our mission is simple:

To build confident thinkers before they become programmers.

 

What is AmaKhodi?

AmaKhodi is a story-driven, hands-on coding programme featuring:

• Khodi the Robot (our mascot)

• Story-based learning

• Game-based activities

Programme Includes:

✅ CAPS-aligned lesson plans
✅ Teacher training workshops
✅ Printable coding resources
✅ Assessment rubrics
✅ Practical classroom activities
✅ Shoebox coding game project
