TEACHER TRAINING

SUNSTEP trains and equips teachers who have little to no knowledge of electronics and ability to fulfill the curriculum. SUNSTEP- trained teachers are today well versed in the subject and confident in their ability to construct circuits.

The SUNSTEP learning material for Systems and Control takes the teacher through the whole term with all the enabling activities that the learner will need to execute the Mini Pat project.

Giving teachers a better understanding of these subjects has proven highly effective in helping learners to make the most of their school years and opened the possibility of careers in technology or engineering.
