Eskom boosts education, young scientists through flagship Expo

Eskom Expo Foundation says the organisation is working with schools to boost STEM education.

Eskom, the South African energy company, is significantly increasing its commitment to education and the development of young scientists through its flagship Expo for Young Scientists. Mologadi Motshele, Acting CEO of the Eskom Expo Foundation, highlighted this investment during the recent two-day science fair held in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni. This event serves as a platform for young learners to exhibit their scientific research, innovative ideas, and solutions to real-world problems.

Motshele emphasized that Eskom's investment in education is a key focus, with the Expo being one of their main flagship programs. This initiative goes beyond other educational programs, demonstrating the company's dedication to nurturing the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. The organization recognizes the importance of supporting schools, district offices, provincial education structures, and even participating in mass competitions to foster a strong STEM education culture.

The Expo for Young Scientists, as highlighted by Eskom, encourages learners to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, providing them with the opportunity to showcase their talents and contribute to addressing real-world challenges.
