Njengoba ngaphezu kuka-86% onjiniyela abakhona emhlabeni kungabesilisa, kungase kubonakale sengathi ukukhuthaza isizukulwane esisha sonjiniyela besifazane kuyimpi enzima. Ngenxa yemizamo yakamuva yokwenza i-STEM (Isayensi, Ubuchwepheshe, Ubunjiniyela, kanye Nezibalo) inkambu yemisebenzi ekhanga kakhulu yamantombazane nokho, lokhu akukwazanga ukuqhubekela phambili eqinisweni. Kakade, sesilubonile uhla oluhlaba umxhwele lwamathoyizi, izinhlelo zokusebenza namathuluzi okufunda aku-inthanethi ahloselwe ukukhuthaza amantombazane amancane ukuthi aphishekele ubunjiniyela noma amanye amakhono asekelwe ku-STEM - futhi akubonakali kuncipha noma nini maduze.
Manje, isibuyekezo somugqa owine umklomelo wezinhlelo zokwakha ezinezintambo ezidizayinelwe ukukhuthaza amantombazane ku-STEM kungase kube ithuluzi lokufunda elihlaba umxhwele kakhulu esesilibonile kuze kube manje.
Yasungulwa ngenkathi ngasikhathi sinye bephishekela uhlelo lwabo lobunjiniyela benkosi eStanford, Igumbi 2.0 abadali u-Alice Brooks kanye no-Bettina Chen babone ithuba lokufundisa amantombazane amakhono okusebenza amakhono akhona kakade ayengawanikezi amathoyizi okufunda agxile emantombazaneni - njengokuhlanganisa idizayini, ubunjiniyela kanye nezinhlelo ukuze bakhe yonke into ngebhuloho elikhanyayo le-Golden Gate noma ilifti eya endaweni yokugeza izimoto enamabhulashi okuphotha. Ukwengeza, bebefuna ukugxila ezintweni ezine ezibalulekile, kusukela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo, ezizosiza ukudala isisekelo sokuphishekela amakhono asekelwe ku-STEM esikhathini esizayo: ukuxazulula izinkinga ngezandla, amakhono okusebenza kwendawo kanye nemoto emihle, ukujikeleza kanye nokuzethemba. .
Emuva ngo-2012, laba bobabili bathola impumelelo nge yabo umklamo wokuqala Roominate, nokho bachithe iminyaka emithathu edlule beqoqa impendulo ukuze bakhe umkhiqizo ongcono kakhulu onokuvumelana nezimo nezinketho zokusungula. I-Roominate 2.0 ewumphumela ingumkhiqizo ophucuzeke kakhulu ophinde ube nomtshali wezigidigidi uMark Cuban ajabule; umsingathi we-Shark Tank ongaguquki utshale imali enkampanini futhi njengengxenye yesivumelwano sakhe esihlelekile no-Brooks no-Chen, ufuna amadodakazi akhe asebenze enkampanini:
Njengamanje, u-Brooks no-Chen bafuna uxhaso lwezimali ku-Kickstarter ukuze balusebenzise ekwakheni amathuluzi ohlelo lwabo olusha lwamasekhethi lwesici sabo esisha se-rPower - esivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi baxhume amasekhethi amaningi ukuze benze imisebenzi ehlukahlukene kusukela ekunikezeni amandla ama-motor kuya ekukhanyiseni izibani noma icishiwe.
“Sesivele sesiqalile ukusebenzisa i-rPower,” kusho laba ababili ekhasini labo le-Kickstarter. “Sithemba ukuthi sizothola ukwesekwa kwakho ku-Kickstarter ukuze sikwazi ukwethula amathuluzi esistimu yethu entsha yamasekethe ngaphambi kwesikhathi esingenzeka… Senze umkhankaso wethu wokuqala phakathi nezinyanga eziyisi-3 ebesizihlosile futhi sizuze ulwazi olubalulekile lokukhiqiza kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.”
Kulabo abangase bazi ngonjiniyela osemusha, u-Brooks no-Chen balindele ukugcwalisa wonke ama-oda ngoNovemba walo nyaka … okusho ukuthi lesi kungase kube isipho esihle kakhulu samaholide esiqhubeka nokupha. Iphekhi eliyisisekelo 'le-Crcuit Builder' iqala ku-$35 nje futhi ihlanganisa injini, intambo, iphakethe lebhethri ne-LED.
