For the first time in 24 years SciFest Africa, South Africa’s National Science Festival, has gone virtual! The online presentation of the festival affords Scifest Africa the opportunity to extend our celebration of science beyond the week-long format of a physical festival. Already in progress, the festival is set to run over six months until the end of March 2021. Participants can expect a variety of festivities that include webinars, workshops, exhibits, science shows and virtual tours.

The festival programme has been sectioned into themed months: Astronomy and Space Science (October), Climate Change (November), Agriculture (December), Arts in Science (January), Indigenous Knowledge Systems (February), Innovation in All Fields (March)

We have an exciting two weeks ahead with our virtual festival already underway!
