Young scientists across South Africa are invited to present their first attempts at Eskom Expo research at a District Expo where they can get valuable inputs from a team of experts to improve their research prior to Regional Expos.
Eskom Expo started the process of developing young scientists by guiding them through the ideation phase of research as well as assisting them on how to write a Research Plan and identify potential ethics violations. Eskom Expo achieved this through a series of workshops along with Research and Innovation Camps so learners can kick-start their research in readiness for the District and Regional Expos.
Learners/Teachers are required to contact a respective provincial coordinator in their province to register to take part. Dates and contact details are below:
