COMING UP:
SciFest Africa is taking part in National Science Week (10-17 May) in Lusikisiki and Grahamstown. NSW is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology which aims to excite our youth with science at an early age and to encourage them to develop an interest in studying maths and science subjects.
A series of science-based activities are conducted during NSW. These activities which are aimed at learners, parents, teachers and the general public include: open days, lectures and seminars, discussions, traditional games, role modeling, exhibits, tours, competitions and fun runs.
