South Africa’s Young Scientists Shine at Eskom Expo

Exciting things are happening in South Africa! The Department of Basic Education (DBE) recently supported the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, a fantastic event that puts the spotlight on the country’s brightest young talent in science. It’s a real boost to see young people so engaged with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects.

The University of Cape Town Sports Centre was buzzing as students presented their innovative projects, showcasing their passion and skills. Ms Elspeth Khembo, Director of Mathematics, Science and Technology (MST) at the DBE, was part of a delegation that attended, highlighting the importance the department places on fostering scientific curiosity and achievement from a young age. Events like this are crucial for nurturing the next generation of scientists and innovators, and it’s great to see the DBE actively involved.
