National Science Month in action! 🔬📊 Learners visited the NRF-SAEON Elwandle Node. They used the laboratories to analyse data collected during their field activities. Guided by our scientists in data interpretation and scientific analysis, they're building valuable skills and confidence. #NSM2026 #STEM #ScienceEducation @NRF_News @dstigovza
