Eskom Expo International Science Fair gets underway - IT-Online

The 43rd Eskom Expo International Science Fair kicked off this week with an electric start as young scientists from around the world were treated to robotics and coding activities, along with science shows as they prepared to showcase their own scientific brilliance.

The opening of the ISF saw 330 local young scientists stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 20 international peers representing Ghana, India, Kenya, Lesotho, Mexico, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, and Turkey to compete in the competition taking place this week at the Birchwood Hotel’s OR Tambo Conference Centre in Boksburg.

“Being the steadfast supporter of the Eskom Expo, we are thrilled to witness how it has evolved into a fertile ground for nurturing the aspirations of young scientists,” says Eskom acting group executive for Government & Regulatory Affairs, Natasha Sithole. “This week, we extend a resounding call to all participating learners urging them to keep their minds open to the wisdom of our esteemed judges. Embracing their insights can propel your research projects to new horizons.

Eskom Expo executive director, Parthy Chetty, adds: “Eskom Expo is pleased to provide the platform for the only national event of its kind whereby learners start their journey at school level and, over many months, progress to higher levels of competition culminating in the International Science Fair. We are very pleased to see so many learners participate from across all nine provinces and we also welcome participation from 10 other countries to make this a truly international event.
