Eastern Cape Pupils Discover Science Through Hands On Experiments
Story 2
More than 2,400 pupils from 18 schools in the Eastern Cape took part in interactive science experiments through Merck’s Curiosity Cube, a mobile laboratory that visited Makhanda and Kariega during August and September.
Learners explored DNA, genes and enzymes with scientists and university volunteers, discovering how synthetic biology works and how it can help solve real world problems in medicine and healthcare.
The programme also introduced pupils to science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers, helping them see how their classroom learning could lead to future opportunities.
