Science is brought to life at Nizamiye science expo

The aim of this science fair, and this year’s theme, was for learners to examine the challenges facing the country and build projects to tackle them.

Principal and maths teacher, Huseyin Gencel, said the science expo is a part of the school’s motto.

“We have a motto in this school, and we are so much into mathematics, artificial intelligence and science, we promote this as the school’s policy and through science expos. We also believe that as a school we need to give our learners opportunities to reach their potential and grow their knowledge, hence we host the science expo every year,” said Gencel.

Learners from grades 4 to 11 worked in pairs to bring ideas together.

A lot of these projects focused on agricultural aspects, and water and power issues.

Some of the projects included hydro-electric vs. magnetic generators, solar power irrigation systems, and aerodynamics in Formula 1.

All learners were challenged to think out of the box and use some of the knowledge they have learned in class.
Grade 9 learners Mohammad Ikram Uddin and Zaydaan Sheikh Mahomed showcased their project, which was a bridge, and explained its importance.

“We wanted to show people why bridges are important, and there are still a lot of places that don’t have bridges and need them. With this bridge, we chose to make it a triangle design because it holds more weight, spreads space evenly and makes the bridge more stable and strong.”

The school hopes to host more science expos and get learners to challenge themselves to see what problems the country is facing and how they can solve them.
