Educators as well as the Department of Education officials, Ms P Khubeka, Ms ENN Madondo and Ms NR Sithole, assisted these learners to not only explain the project but to also handle questions about the research.
The learners were both confident and articulate as they impressed the judges. Both learners received a bronze medal, certificates, science expo T-shirt and jacket as well as back packs.
Melissa describes her experience as “overwhelming” and tough as they competed against 600 learners from all over the world.
