 | SCIFEST AFRICA"Science across Cultures" 23-29 March 2011VISION To showcase top South African research and provide a national platform for effective communication between topical national and international scientists and the general public, thereby facilitating and promoting public engagement and awareness of science. MISSION By showcasing the most applicable and topical science relevant to our communities through activities at SciFest Africa (regional and national), and the outreach programmes, science will be communicated in an enthusiastic and understandable way so as to change misconceptions about science and assisting our youth about to embark on a career choice to make an informed decision regarding science, technology, engineering and mathematics as a career choice. Since its establishment in 1997 as a project of the Grahamstown Foundation, Scifest Africa, South Africa’s National Science Festival, has become very successful in changing misconceptions and attitudes of the general public towards science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Through a range of interactive activities ranging from lectures, workshops, talks shows, exhibitions etc, visitors are shown how STEM underpins their daily lives. Learners and educators are given the opportunity to experience science outside the classroom in a fun and informative way. They are able to interact with scientists who share their work and provide career guidance thereby acting as role models for our youth. | |
