Learning doesn’t only happen in a classroom, sometimes it happens on a tennis court. 🎾💜

At the North-West University, young players gained more than tennis skills at the Rainbow Kidz Tournament. They built confidence, sharpened problem-solving abilities, and discovered the joy of learning through play.

The event also highlighted how NWU research creates real-world impact. Dr. Moleboheng Mokhele’s educational game, Renewable Rangers, invites children to explore STEM concepts in creative, engaging ways demonstrating how education, innovation and sport can work together to inspire the next generation.

This is community impact. Creating opportunities that empower young people, strengthen communities and support a more sustainable future.
