JEFA’S HEART – STEAM INVASIONS
Continually growing, in 2018 JEFA exposed, engaged and inspired over 10 000 learners to the soft and hard skills needed for the 21st century world through our STEAM Invasions. An Invasion is an intense in-school experience that lasts up to a week-long, where the normal school timetable is collapsed and JEFA takes over! To our knowledge, no other organisation is able to provide a similar experience in the world! Read below some key features for our Invasions:
REACH
While based in Joburg, the JEFA Team travels extensively and is able to reach any school in Southern Africa, no matter how far or remote!

JEFA SCHOOLS
Invasions typically become yearly events that are eagerly anticipated by all. Each year the programme changes, so learners never do the same workshop twice. Some schools have had JEFA Invasions for over 8 years in a row and promise that they keep getting better! See what a typical Invasion looks like in the video below:
