Academy hosts National Science Week event
The main aim of the project is to engage and focus attention on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The Moipone Academy hosted a National Science Week event at the Moses Molelekwa Arts Centre from August 3 to 7.
“We invited the community, including teachers and pupils, to attend the public engagement talks,” said Mr Joseph Taetsane, the centre manager.
“We invited Dr Keneiloe Sikhwivhilu (MINTEK), Prof Thwala (UJ), Dr Thulani Makhalanyane (UP) and Ms Minx Avrabos (SAIEE),” he said.
“They hosted presentations and encouraged pupils not only to take up post graduate studies, but to retain them in the field and enable them to give back to their communities,” said Mr Taetsane.
The main aim of the project was to engage and focus attention on science, technology, engineering and mathematics through the skills and professional help of South African scientists.
