Winning learners for their science projects in the Eskom Regional Science Fair in the Klein Karoo and Garden Route areas
A total of 12 gold medals, five silver and 16 bronze medals have been awarded to learners from the Garden Route at Little Karoo at the Eskom Expo Eden Karoo Regional Science Fair.
The science fair, held at the George Civic Centre, featured 49 projects showcased by 74 young scientists in Grades 4 to 12 and TVET students.
These learners took part in various activities throughout the year, including workshops and District Expos.
The most popular category at this year’s fair was Social Sciences, with 17 entries, followed by 16 entries in Engineering and eight in Environmental Studies.
Eskom Expo Executive Director, Parthy Chetty says the exceptional projects presented, especially by learners from previously disadvantaged communities and young girls, stand as a beacon of hope for a brighter, more inclusive future in science that the country desperately needs.
