Springbot: Locally Built for a Connected Future

The Springbot is South Africa’s homegrown coding and electronics platform, designed to inspire young minds through hands-on learning. Built for schools and communities, Springbot empowers students to explore coding, electronics, and data-driven problem-solving—equipping them with critical skills for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Developed and manufactured in South Africa, the Springbot offers an affordable, robust alternative to imported devices like the micro:bit. It is purpose-built for the South African curriculum and learning environment, ensuring it meets the needs of both learners and educators.

What is Springbot?

Springbot is a compact, powerful learning device featuring:

• Locally assembled hardware using a popular microcontroller.
  
• A range of onboard and plug-in sensors, enabling students to measure and analyse the world around them.
• A simplified coding environment using block-based and text-based coding, helping beginners and advanced learners alike.
  

The Springbot Ecosystem

Springbot is more than a device—it’s a complete learning ecosystem designed to build technical confidence and real-world problem-solving skills.

✅ Curriculum-Aligned Lessons: Step-by-step projects designed for South Africa’s Coding & Robotics curriculum, spanning Grades 4 to 9, and supporting further learning in TVET and university levels.

✅ Sensor Modules: Students can explore data from temperature, humidity, pressure, light, motion, and more—turning abstract STEM concepts into practical investigations.
