Did you know that fewer than 2% of African students under 18 years complete school with vital Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills. As South Africans, we greatly appreciate any chance we get to contribute to the education of our youth, particularly in the significant and fulfilling field of STEM careers.

Recently, Spitfire Inbound made a partial sponsorship contribution towards Texpand, a Cape Town-based robotics team, for their participation in an international competition, The First Tech Challenge (FTC), held in Texas in April 2023.

In our latest podcast episode, we had the opportunity to chat to Michelle Buckle, the volunteer team coach of Texpand, and two esteemed students from Texpand, Ethan Buckle and Matthew Greenwood, about this incredible experience.
