Artificial intelligence is now embedded in daily life, from search engines to smart tools and automated platforms.
However, most education systems still treat AI as optional rather than foundational.
Without deliberate AI literacy, children risk becoming passive consumers of powerful systems instead of informed creators within them.
Logiscool Ruimsig believes the gap between technology and education must be closed urgently.
The school will officially open its doors on 14 March 2026, not simply as another after-school activity, but as a response to a growing reality: children are interacting with AI daily, yet very few understand how it works, how it thinks, or how to build with it.
From voice assistants to automated homework tools, today’s learners are surrounded by intelligent systems.
Yet traditional education still prioritises memorisation over problem solving and passive consumption over digital creation. Logiscool Ruimsig aims to flip that model.
This new coding, AI and digital literacy academy for children aged 6 to 18 brings an internationally developed curriculum, small focused classes and a structured learning-through-play methodology to the West Rand community. The goal is not to increase screen time – but to transform it into skill time.
“This launch is about future readiness,” says Semone Peacock, franchise owner of Logiscool Ruimsig. “We cannot allow our children to become passive users of powerful technology. They need to understand it, question it and ultimately create with it.”
The opening of the school marks more than the arrival of a new education centre in the area. It signals the beginning of a local future-skills movement – one that prioritises computational thinking, creativity, ethical digital awareness and real problem solving.
Parents, educators and business leaders are increasingly asking hard questions about the future of learning and work.
Are schools truly preparing learners for jobs that do not yet exist? Is artificial intelligence becoming a shortcut that weakens critical thinking, or is it a skill that must be deliberately taught and mastered?
And perhaps most importantly, will our children grow up to lead in the digital economy – or be left behind by it?
Peacock says they intend to be part of that conversation.
“Guests can expect live coding and robotics demonstrations, an opportunity to meet the franchise masters, trainers and owners, and a walk through of the structured curriculum roadmap. Light refreshments will be served, creating space for meaningful networking and discussion.”
The official launch will take place on 14 March 2026 at 12:00pm at Logiscool Ruimsig, Office 3 – 5 Roodepoort Ruimsig Shopping Centre, Corner Doreen and Malcolm Roads, Amarosa, Ruimsig.
