Mpumalanga Ehlanzeni Eskom Expo

Scientific research took centre stage at the Eskom Expo Ehlanzeni Regional Science Fair, where young scientists from across the region presented innovative projects that reflected their ability to investigate challenges, test ideas and develop practical solutions.

Hosted at Curro Mbombela in Riverside, on 8 August 2026, the Regional Science Fair featured 190 projects, including group projects, presented by 231 learners in Grades 4 to 12 and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) students NC(V) Level 2-4. Participants advanced to the Regional Science Fair after taking part in a range of Eskom Expo activities throughout the year, including workshops and compulsory District Expos, where they received valuable guidance and feedback from judges, mentors and STEMI professionals.

This year’s projects reflected a wide range of scientific interests and community-focused solutions across the 13 Eskom Expo categories. The most popular category was Engineering, which attracted 50 entries, followed by Social Sciences (29), Energy (18) and Biomedical and Medical Sciences (18).
