Eskom Expo ISF 2015 forYoung Scientists
Visiting the annual ‘Eskom Expo for Young Scientists’ is always inspiring. This year it took place at the Birchwood Hotel and Conference Centre
from 6 – 9 October 2015. In addition to Eskom’s significant sponsorship, it is supported by the Departments of Public Enterprises, Science and
Technology and Basic Education. This event is the culmination of hard work, learning, planning and creating practical solutions to the many
problems that are experienced in this country – very often by the learners themselves. We enjoyed meeting many of the participants.
