In an effort to support the empowerment of people from underprivileged communities through education in digital skills, online education company GetSmarter has partnered with Reconstructed Living Labs (RLabs) to provide students aged 18–25 with the opportunity to study online for the first time and receive a certificate that is approved by the University of Cape Town - an important education milestone that many of the participants previously believed they could never reach. "I was always looking at the mountainside, seeing UCT and thinking to myself; praying to God that I will one day have a certificate", says Augustine Mutale, one of the past students of the program.

In his tailored coat, carrying a fashionable satchel bag, it’s not difficult to believe that Kyle Bennett works in the design field. As he grabs his coffee from the in-house barista and makes his way to one of the uniquely-styled GetSmarter boardrooms, it’s intriguing to think that these offices began as an idea that he no doubt dreamt up while sourcing inspiration from online design blogs during his varsity breaks. And here he sits, in Bright Ideas, a boardroom characterised by a monochrome colour scheme and bright light bulbs suspended from the ceiling.
