Eskom Expo for Young Scientists will host a series of regional science fairs for pre-selected learners across South Africa, offering a platform for young scientists to showcase their scientific skills.
These events aim to be a celebration of innovation, creativity, and intellectual curiosity, where budding scientists will present their research projects and discoveries. Participants will interact with students, teachers and professionals in various Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Innovation (STEMI) fields, gaining insights and appreciation for their efforts.
By uniting individuals from diverse areas, the Eskom Expo nurtures a culture of scientific exploration and cooperation, inspiring the upcoming generation of scientists to explore new frontiers in knowledge and contribute to the progress of science and technology in the country.
**Please note, participation at Regional Science Fairs this year will be by invitation only. Contact your Provincial Coordinator to check whether you have been selected. Learners who were not invited to exhibit their projects are welcome to view projects during the public viewing.
