SchoolClick loves to see young people excelling in STEM, and news from South Africa’s Department of Basic Education (DBE) is particularly inspiring! A recent tweet highlighted Cady de Koker, a silver medalist at the prestigious Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition (BYSCC). It’s fantastic to hear how Cady is now paying it forward, travelling to the Northern Cape to motivate other budding scientists. She’s sharing her experiences with the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, showing how participation in the Expo can open doors to incredible opportunities.

Cady’s journey demonstrates the real-world impact of initiatives like the Eskom Expo. The DBE is actively encouraging young people to get involved in science and technology, and Cady’s success is a powerful example of what’s possible. Imagine the confidence boost and skills development she’s gained, not just from winning a medal, but also from sharing her knowledge and inspiring others!

It’s brilliant to see the DBE shining a spotlight on these success stories. If you want to see the original tweet and learn more, check it out here: https://x.com/DBE_SA/status/1956791303414411389.
