Whiz, bang, pop: UCT takes science to the community

The Faculty of Science hosted its sixth annual Science Day on 17 March.

This year's event took place at Trafalgar High School and was hosted in conjunction with iThemba LABS, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the South African Astronomical Observatory, Cape Town Science Centre, Career Planet and the South African Weather Service.

The aim is to get learners excited - with a little help from 'fizzle-and-pop' chemical reactions - about mathematics and science.
