A WORD FROM THE SPONSOR
The need to make scientific disciplines more accessible and attractive to younger generations has never been greater. South Africa has the potential to become a rich source of scientific expertise, but only if the system is fed with a healthy supply of school-going youth who are interested in and enthusiastic about science, engineering and technology (SET).
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) believes that science, technology, engineering, mathematics and innovation (STEMI) Olympiads and competitions are excellent ways to create enthusiasm for schools subjects such as the sciences and mathematics. Competitions also create awareness among the youth of careers in science, engineering and innovation and assist to steer bright young minds into these careers.
Close to 200 000 learners participate annually in STEMI Olympiads and competitions in South Africa. Many more participants are required from township, rural and peri-urban areas to increase the numbers of talented young people being identified and encouraged to follow science-based study options after completing matric.
