Transforming cities into immersive learning adventures 🧭

⚠️ Problem
Overburdened Educators, Disengaged Students & Curriculum Coverage Challenges
  • Educators are under constant pressure to cover extensive curricula while keeping students engaged.
  • Traditional teaching methods often lack real-world relevance, making it difficult to foster deep learning and retention.
  • Field trips often require significant logistical planning, making them difficult for educators to implement consistently.
💡 Solution
Transform the City into a Learning Playground

Curiocity Learning provides engaging, guided learning excursions that ease teacher workload and buy back instructional class time by creating cross-curricular, gamified adventures throughout the city which bring education to life for students and educators alike

Our learning excursions are aligned with your curriculum, giving students the opportunity to apply key concepts in engaging real-world environments

We take the hassle out of the planning, consent & logistics needed to make a field trip happen, so that immersive learning becomes more accessible and easy to implement

Meet the
Curiocity Learning Squad 🦹
Hey Curious Explorer 👋

I'm Kobus du Toit — the founder of Curiocity Learning. My background spans 15+ years of experience in progressive education, as a teacher, trainer, facilitator, learning experience designer & manager of co-learning spaces

I design and facilitate learning experiences that transform cities into learning playgrounds and train educators to do the same

My work is guided by these three principles:

  1. Learning lives everywhere — at recreation centres, parks, public libraries, museums, office buildings, colleges, community gardens, theatres, churches, homes, and in backyards. But, today’s education system assumes meaningful learning only happens at a place called “school”.
  1. Leverage the city's ecosystem of learning — partner with existing learning service providers and spaces of learning in the city to design high quality, engaging learning excursions
  1. Keep it accessible - offer sponsored learning excursions to underserved communities in Cape Town and access to 21st century learning tools
