Who are we?Scifest Africa (formerly Sasol Scifest is South Africa’s National Science Festival, which takes place in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, in late March or early April every year. Scifest Africa was the first festival of its kind on the continent and was launched in 1997 as a high profile, national event to promote a culture of science in South Africa in a festive way. The Festival aims to break through popular misconceptions and create a new mindset about science, technology, engineering and mathematics by demonstrating that these disciplines underpin our everyday activities. Visitors are able to interact with science in a colourful and non-threatening environment, while the Festival’s incredible range of interactive events also provides learners with a great opportunity to discover science outside the classroom. Scifest Africa also allows South Africa and the world’s leading scientists the opportunity to share their work, make science accessible to and within the reach of ordinary people, give career guidance, and act as role models for our youth. Remember to look out for our other events that will take the best of Scifest Africa to your dorp or city through competitions, educational theatre, exhibitions, lectures, science shows and workshops.
