UFS again involved in this year's Science Expo
2009-08-21
The annual Science Expo will once again take place at the South Campus (formerly known as the Vista Campus) of the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein from 20-22 Augustus 2009.
This is the 25th year that the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Science at the UFS is involved in the project as one of the main sponsors for the regional competition. This involvement stems from the institution’s endeavour to promote a love for science amongst youth at an early age already. In this way, new thoughts and development are stimulated with regard to science.
The total involvement of the faculty amounts to approximately R25 000, which includes:
- The sponsoring of prizes and gift hampers for 220 medallists
- The sponsoring of two floating trophies awarded to the primary and secondary school with the most Gold medals, as well as R1 000 cash for the two winning
schools as prize money
- The sponsoring of medals for the best project for Grades 4-7, Grades 8-9 and Grades 10-12
- The sponsoring of merit bursaries to the value of approximately R1 800 for the
best project: Grades 10-12 at the Science Expo
- The sponsoring of a special prize for the best project in Soil Sciences to the
value of R500
- The venue is made available for free for the project
- The sponsoring of other expenses to the value of R10 000
This year approximately 432 participants entered for the Science Project. The best projects will participate in the National Science Expo in Pretoria from 2-3 October 2009, where a group of learners will be selected to go to the International Science Expo.
