Founder and ED. An edutech enthusiast with passion for robotics and coding training for kids.
Having conceived the idea of establishing an innovation hub for the children and youth in Cape Town since 2015. And, observing the rapid pace of technological changes around her, and witnessing first hand the positive impact of robotics and coding training on kids through her own children who started exploring the adventurous world of coding at a young age.
It became evident from then on that the existing gab between access to innovative learning opportunities and the inborn talent of every kid must be bridged. With extensive experience in business administration and management, Emma's vision is to foster a learning environment that ignites growing minds in the field of coding and robotics.
A vibrant and intelligent Physiology and Genetics Stellenbosch University graduate; Dee as she is affectionately known, holds extensive experience in working with children and youth as a university and school tutor with high performance levels for both university and school students.
As head of Learning & Development for AYI4ir, Dee plans to use her extensive experience as a robotics facilitator to deliver learning that, not only ensure the learners can fully comprehend the concepts, but to prepare them for global competitions in coding and robotics.
Tony is a new member to AYI4ir family and he heads our Robotics Innovation and Design team. With a university degree in Mechatronics, a workshop manager at a Cape Town robotics handling firm, and years of experience as a Robotics training facilitator for children and youth - Tony is unleashing great ideas to empower tomorrow's aspiring roboticists at AYI4ir.
​
Tony also has some long term plans of transferring his 3D design and printing skills to our learners. He believes that early childhood education in the field of Coding and Robotics set a critical foundation for our future innovators to be able to participate in a global labour and business market as employers or consultants.
