Kamohelo Tsikoane

My name is Kamohelo Tsikoane, born on the 28th May 2021, currently (2021) 20 years old and I am an individual who's challenging himself to reach greater heights. I am motivated by the gap between where I am and where I want to be, it might be a big gap but I know with work I will reach my goals. Friendly student, eager to learn. Passionate about Technology, Chess, solving problems, coding and finding new ways to solve existing problems. I am constantly learning something new everyday so I can be a better person everyday. I believe that there is always a better way to solve a problem especially using technology, I follow Impact Theory on YouTube to get more insight from the people who have achieved a high level of success to apply those hacks in my life. In my free time I read books, research and play chess and spend time with my friends, I am kind but selective with people in my life, I believe that if am surrounded by people who are achieving their, my light will also shine.

I started Chess when I was in Grade 6. I fell in love with the sport because of the way it taught me how to think, to always look at the bigger picture and finding ways to adapt in every situation you find yourself in.

AR/VR Africa Hackathon 2020

• Achieved No.1 Team in South Africa by completing AR/VR Africa Hackathon with a solution that was aimed at integrating education with Virtual Reality by immersing students into the content they are learning, a system that would not only give students a textbook or some text with pictures that they'd need to visualize but immerse the student into a VR world where they can experience an animation of what we are trying to teach whilst making it fun for the student.
• Collaborated with team of 6 in the development of Edutainment.
• Attended a 48 hour Hackathon in Sandton to produce the prototype
• Made use of Blender and Mozzilla hubs to create the solution
