Department of Education Extranet

LAUNCH OF CYBERLABS

The MEC for Education, Mr Zolile Monakali will officially open the Cyberlab at Noupoort Combined School in the Pixley Ka Seme District. This Cyberlab forms part of ten (10) Cyberlabs which the Northern Cape Department of Education has delivered to the Province, in our quest of harnessing and sharpening the knowledge, skills and competencies, required by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Cyberlabs are unique as they house four zones which represent the economic drivers of our Province, namely, Mining, Agriculture, Astronomy and Solar Energy.

Learners will be able to navigate various dimensions of each of these zones, via giant multi-touch high resolution screens, watch 3D animations, take virtual tours and engage with interactive content and simulations, giving them continues career guidance and stimulation for innovation and life-long learning.

The Cyberlabs are spaces designed for learners providing them with explorative hardware and software which are exciting and meaningful. The Cyberlabs also houses augmented reality posters, digital tablets and virtual reality headsets which enables learners to create and participate in a learning environment with a sense of presence.
