The Eskom Expo
Young Scientists awards was recently held at the Birchwood Hotel in
Johannesburg. Hosted by the lively Proverb, the awards showcased the talented
scientists South Africa is producing. More than 150 finalists were selected
from entrants across South Africa. It was notable that for the first time the
number of girls that entered the Expo far surpassed the number of boys. The eskom Expo for Young Scientists is a
science fair, where students showcase projects based on their community
experience and display their own scientific investigations. The Director, Mr
Parthy Chetty, explains further about the expo.
At Expo,
students discuss their work with the judges, teachers, and with students from
other schools. By participating at expo
students increase their awareness of the wonders of science, add to their
knowledge and broaden their scientific horizons. For more information on a
