Learners concentrated hard on their science projects for the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists on our Bloemfontein Campus that took place from Thursday,18 August to Saturday, 20 August 2011. Grade 5 to12 learners from schools in Bloemfontein got the opportunity to show off their science research projects. More than 480 learners participated in the Expo, of which about two-thirds were girls. One grade 12 learner won a bursary from the UFS, and gold and silver medals were up for grabs.
