TECHNOLAB - TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST
Making sense of pulleys, levers, axles and gears in a fun and playful way is what the Centre’s Technolab is all about.
It is commonly known that science, engineering and technology (SET) play a critical part in meeting the objectives of a growing economy which extends to a country achieving international competitiveness. Every modern society recognizes the absolute need for a technologically skilled workforce.
Science provides the store of knowledge while technology is the process of applying knowledge to meeting identified market and social needs. Engineering is the process of conceiving, creating, planning and designing works, products and processes for useful purposes. The time it takes to produce a graduate or diplomate in engineering is long. The adverse cost to the country arising from a shortage of engineering skills is immense and far outweighs the direct costs of educating possible engineers.

The TechnoLab Technology Programme, consisting of lessons on gears, levers, pulleys, machines, wheels, axles, energy, pneumatics etc. is a step in addressing engineering human resource development as well as the promotion of technology. School learners are identified in grade 7 through to grade 12 to participate in lessons that equip and prepare them for the future.
The TechnoLab Technology lessons prepare our youth for the working environment by developing basic life skills and mathematical concepts.
