Sponsored by SAP , this robotics program provided tutors for robotics programming, robot kits (valued at ~R25,000 each) and training in life skills, social skills, communication, and presentation. The program ran up to 2014 expanding to ~100 children across KZN with MDeF's support. SAP funded air travel for participants to attend the national robotics tournament in Johannesburg, which was connected to the Lego World Robotics event in St. Louis, USA. MDeF's team was crucial to the program's success, coordinating all activities between children and sponsors, including transportation, meals, and other necessities.
Congratulations to Mrs. Sandra Roopram for her dual achievements. As an educator at Forest Hill School, she has led her students to win trophies at the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Tournament every year of their participation. This success runs parallel to her valuable contributions to the MDeF program, demonstrating her dedication to excellence in both her teaching career and professional development. The story concludes with gratitude to MDeF and acknowledges Sandra Roopram, Kantha Sheik Alli, Vanida Chetty, Vernon Nair, Neville Dwarika, Noel David, and Vikash Oodit, Anil Ramnath and Pritum Ram.... for their contributions to the program's success.
