Introducing Box Technology in South Africa


Goal: to teach educators in Langa how to use Box for the bulk of their file storage needs and provide continued support

Partner: The LEAP Schools are dedicated to providing student-centered, math and science-focused education to economically disadvantaged students from grades 8 to 12. As part of their model, they have established Learning Centers (or tutoring centers) to work with primary-school students who will become the pipeline for their high schools.

Project: Team4Tech volunteers partnered with the US-based NGO, Teach with Africa, and the LEAP Science and Math Schools in Cape Town, South Africa. This project focused on introducing technology to a new Learning Center in the Langa township and on training the 24 Learning Center tutors how to use technology to advance their science and math teaching.
