Learners from Vergesig Primary School recently visited SANSA for an exciting and educational experience. ✨

The learners had the opportunity to visit our Space Weather Centre, where they learned how space weather affects Earth, including fascinating phenomena such as solar flares, sunspots, and CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections). ☀️🌍

They also participated in hands-on activities aligned with the school curriculum, exploring matter and materials, states of matter, and different scientific processes. 🧪🔬

One of the highlights of the visit was the popular “How Diapers Work” demonstration, where learners discovered how polyacrylate, a super absorbent chemical that is used to absorb water and moisture. It was a fun and interactive way to connect science with everyday life! 👩🏽‍🔬💡

Our Eskom Expo follow-up workshop brought together learners and educators for a day of learning, mentorship, and innovation.

Learners had the opportunity to learn from Lordwick Rikhotso, an Electronic Technician from SANSA, who showed them how engineering projects come to life from planning to testing, using smart and cost-effective materials.

Dr. Tanja Rainhardt then took learners through the power of data, helping them understand how to collect, record, and use it correctly in their research projects.

The session concluded with project progress check-ins, where teachers and SANSA mentors provided valuable feedback and guidance.
