Electricity + Control November 2016

YOUNG ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS

Young, creative and energetic

The best time of year for the Electricity+Control team is when the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists takes place. This year, it took place at the Birchwood Confer- ence Centre in Boksburg in early October. The Expo is a Science Fair, where students have a chance to display and discuss their explorations. Students discuss their work with judges, teachers and students from other schools, with parents and with other interested people. By participating, students increase their awareness of the wonders of Science and Engineering. Enquiries: Email admin@exposcience.co.za
