Congratulations to Alyssa Pillay, a Grade 11 learner from @starcollegedbn who has secured the first place in KwaZulu-Natal for the South African Youth Water Prize Competition!
Alyssaโs innovative project, which focused on sustainable water management solutions, earned her a full engineering bursary to study at any South African university and a laptop. She will now represent KwaZulu-Natal at the national competition later this month.
Alyssa also excelled at the 2025 Eskom Expo International Science Fair (ISF), where she was awarded the South African Institute for Civil Engineers (SAICE) special award, along with a Bronze medal.
Eskom Expo for Young Scientists congratulates Alyssa on her outstanding achievement and wishes her all the best as she prepares to compete at national level.

District Expos are underway across South Africa, supporting and guiding learners as they develop their research projects. To participate, learners must present the minimum requirements:
โข A completed Research Plan signed by a teacher, showing intent and direction
โข A basic journal/logbook to track progress
โข Any data collected or early findings
Learners are encouraged to participate even if their projects are still in the early stages, as District Expos are designed to provide guidance, feedback and support to help improve their work.

District Expos are officially underway across South Africa, marking the start of the Eskom Expo journey for thousands of young scientists.
Kicking things off, Eskom Expo Kimberley hosted its first District Expo at Douglas SEDC in the Northern Cape, where 69 learners from six schools showcased their research projects.
Eskom Expo for Young Scientists District Expos are compulsory, localised science competitions for learners in Grades 4 to 12, as well as TVET colleges. These expos provide participants with the opportunity to present their research, receive expert feedback, and refine their projects.
This important stage serves as a stepping stone to Regional Science Fairs and ultimately the Eskom Expo International Science Fair, where top young scientists compete on a national platform.

Planning a survey for your Eskom Expo project? The key to obtaining good data through a survey is to develop a good survey questionnaire. Remember, there are two different types of questions that can be used to collect information:
1: Structured questions โ offer the respondent a closed set of responses from which to choose.
2: Non-structured questions, or open-ended questions โ questions where there is no list of answer choices from which to choose.
