Eskom Expo provides online resources during lockdown
Online training sessions will help participants get started with some parts of their projects that do not require them to leave their homes.
IN light of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis and lockdown, Eskom Expo for Young Scientists is making various adjustments to ensure support is offered to learners, teachers and volunteers.
Eskom Expo executive director, Parthy Chetty said: “We will be running online training sessions for teachers and learners by region and province, helping Eskom Expo participants get started with some parts of their projects that do not require them to leave their homes. Participants will soon be in a position to select their topics, categories and sub-categories to write-up their research plans.”

Chetty added that learners can refer to the Eskom Expo website, www.exposcience.co.za, for all the online resources, starting with the project guide book to learn about the rules of Eskom Expo. Also available will be research plan templates, project report information, a referencing guide and information on how to plan a survey and many more.
“This can also be easily accessed via a cell phone, by switching to the mobile platform. We hope learners use this lockdown period to good advantage, by being productive and getting started on their Eskom Expo projects,” said Chetty.
Eskom Expo hosts regional expos in 35 Eskom Expo regions around South Africa, which culminates in the Eskom Expo International Science Fair (ISF), where about 500 of the country’s top young scientists compete to win cash prizes, bursaries, apprenticeships to study abroad, tours to international science fairs and upgrade science labs for their schools. All the regional expos and our ISF will continue as scheduled for now.
