Sponsorship
There are such great needs in our local public and many independent startup schools, and we have some tried and tested solutions that we are waiting to implement at schools who are eager to cooperate with us, but lack most, if not all of the necessary Educational Technology, and/or Training and Support needed to implement a successful EdTech program, such as Coding & Robotics, Information Technology, etc.

Choose the Rechargeables to Sponsor a School
Are you a Google Workspace subscriber?
Choose the Rechargeables to be your Google Cloud Reseller, so that we may earn a commission on your monthly subscriptions fees - at no extra cost to you - to generate a budget that is allocated to a school of your choice.
Google Resellers typically earn from 12-28% commission on the sales of Google Workspace Business licenses, with subscription costing from $6 to $18 per person per month, while Gemini AI costs $20 to $30 per month.
So, the more users in your company, the bigger the budget we can generate together, and the more Edventures we can help your nominated school(s) to experience, such as Professional Development, Device Deployments, Google Workspace for Education implementations, ChromeOS Flex computer lab transformations, purchase Matific subscriptions, and even the supply of Coding & Robotics Education Kits.
These are not hypothetical products and services, nor are they "pie in the sky" ideas, but are tried and tested EdTech Solutions for Education, many of which are featured in the 8 Days of Tech Campaign that we recently initiated with Octotel Fibre, who have already committed their high speed internet access to over 150 schools throughout the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa.
Another example of our innovative solutions, is our partnership with ZADNA, who recently created a free domain name for every school in the Western Cape, thanks to our insistence that schools should not have to request a domain name, but should be provided with one when they are registered as a school by the Department of Education.
We have recently been successful in obtaining an exception for South African schools, from Google's EDU Approvals Team, so that schools no longer need an active website to be granted a Education Fundamentals sponsorship, which was a real hindrance for many schools, just getting started with their Edventure in EdTech. Now, we can add registered schools quickly and easily, and have them up and running on their Google Workspace tenant within 14 days, so that they can promptly begin an EdVenture.
We are thinking outside of the box to solve real challenges that face every school in South Africa, lowering the barriers to entry and simplifying and solving every obstacle that we encounter, creating innovative education technology solutions that are able to transform the day to day lived experience of students and teachers at schools.
While it may be inconceivable, most of the no-fee and some of the low-fee schools that we have engaged with don't have any discretionary funds in their diminishing operational budget for many of the EdTech tools that are needed to prepare students to survive and thrive in an increasingly digital world, while such resources are commonplace in every classroom in more developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, where every child has their own device, if not more than one each. An example of this, is that every year, every student in Middle School in the UK, is issued with a micro:bit, so that they can master coding and robotics, practice at home what they learn at school.
Sadly, many of our enthusiastic South African students often don't even have access to a computer at school, or if they do, it's only available to them for less than one hour per week, assuming that it actually works when it's their scheduled time to learn something on a computer.
