#SoBasiccallyZA, I just found out that Gqeberha has its very own AI playground.
The Nelson Mandela University Dome
Tucked away in Summerstrand, right on the Ocean Sciences Campus, something pretty cool is happening. You know that massive, futuristic Dome near the beach? The one that usually shows us the stars?
Well, Nelson Mandela University has teamed up with a local tech company called Odin Education to turn part of it into something called the Future Talent Centre. They launched it with an event literally titled "AI is Coming," which sounds a bit dramatic, but honestly? Itās actually really welcoming.
"Itās less about coding in the dark and more about demystifying the tech thatās already starting to shape our world."
The whole point here is to stop treating Artificial Intelligence like this scary, distant concept reserved for tech billionaires and actually let the community touch it. They want to make it a tool for all of us.
Interactive tech where curiosity is the only entry requirement. Play, learn, and break the fourth wall of AI.
A super-powered study buddy giving pupils in under-resourced schools a digital leg up.
Imagine walking into the Dome and finding a space packed with tech you can actually play with. It's about opening up access and making it a community hub. Whether you're a student or just someone driving down Gomery Avenue, itās worth keeping an eye out for the signs.
Gqeberha is quietly positioning itself to be a real player in the future of learning, and honestly? Thatās something worth getting excited about.
Have you been to the Dome recently? Might be time for a visit.
