These seven learners worked in four groups and have identified two problems at school namely water wastage and unhygienic ambition facilities.
Through rigorous experiments they found solutions to these problems Decricia Setshogoe and Muhle Ndlazi got a silver medal for finding a way to save 133 litres of water per day by using a more effective way for learners to wash hands at school.
The other tree groups were rewarded bronze medals for their work: Faith Maginya found a way to save water while washing dishes, used at the feeding scheme, at school.
Phetho Mahlo, Kamogelo Ramakgolo found a cost effective way to keep the school toilets hygienic and Kagiso Mahasha and Thabane Monyela found a good solution to unblock the pit toilets at school and keep them odour free.
