If you want to read more, please click HERE.Mpongoshe Buntu What did
you learn in scifest?
I've
learned many things such as not to throw expired medicines and needles in
dustbins.Maths and science are very important to me.I also learned that there
are plants that were not mean't to grow here in South Africa.I learn that
unsafe water can contain cholera and it can be dangerous to someone.
What have
you seen at Scifest?
I've seen
that there are cars that can move with only water and no petrol.I also seen
plants that grow in oceans only and there are insects that eat alien plants
here in South Africa.
Was was
interesting?
It was the
biggest bird that it was the first time I see it,they say it was found in Japan
I forgot its name.It was the openning of Scifest it was awesome and I saw the
first black man that was in space.
Did you
attend to a workshop? How was it?
We attended
a workshop it un and I've learned some few thing about the career that I chose,
the Engineering it is a great job and they get a good/high salary

The Science Festival in Grahamstown was well on last week. It is a
really interesting time, because people from all over come to
Grahamstown to see all the cool science and different stalls and shows
that happen at the 1820 Settlers Monument.
I went up the the
Science Festival, or "Sci-Fest" as everyone calls it, to stand at the
Awarenet Stall, and talk to people about Awarenet. I of course had a
look around at the other stalls as well.
The Awarenet stall had
quite a few things to show people. Like the really cool video that some
of the children from different schools, who do awarenet as well made. It
was a nice song, it had quite a catchy tune, so of course I found my
self singing it all day.
There was an African Thunderstorm stall,
presented by the SABC Weather Team. They created a walk through, which
had images, sounds and lighting, showing how a storm would develop. They
also showed us how they are able to detect a storm a few days ahead of
it, so they are able to warn people if a terrible storm was on its way
to that town or area.
I would suggest that if you have never been to
the Grahamstown Science Festival, that you make a turn next year.
You'll learn many new things, and have a fun with science as well. It'll
be an experience to remember. :)

Village Scribe Association and eKhaya ICT members Terri-Lynn Penney,
Rieke Heitmueller, Antje Hering and Richard Strickland with help from CM
Vellem, Ntaba Maria and Victoria Girl’s learners presented the awarenet
programme at the Science Festival Africa 2014. awarenet
is a new interactive education and communication platform for schools, designed
to create a safe environment where student communities at schools across the
country can interact.
The SciFest took
place at the National Settlers Monument in Grahamstown, from the 12th of March
to the 18th of March 2014. Companies and organizations from all over South
Africa and Germany introduced their work to the visitors according to this
year’s topic “Into the space”. Local schools as well as other schools from the
Eastern Cape like Port Elizabeth, East London and Mthatha visited the SciFest
and took part in its workshops.
The VSA presented the
new picture login of awarenet and how the
new KaLite (an offline version of the KhanAcademy) was integrated into awarenet.
Together with the
awarenet users – learners from CM Vellem, Ntaba Maria and Good Shepherd School
– we presented our project “About personal and public space”,
on which we worked for about 6 weeks. It deals with the topic safety &
privacy in the Internet, privacy in general and the conflict between safety
& privacy. The learners had to write blogs, answer forum questions,
interpret a cartoon and create posters and photo stories during the project.
As part of the
awarenet programme we also showed the awarenet Peace Day music videos, the
latest video clip of the awarenet Peace Day concert
and a slideshow with pictures of the last six month to get an overview of our
several projects.
The SciFest was a great success, where we established contacts with
interested teachers, students and other organizations. It was our first time at
the SciFest and we had a lot of fun and met people from all over South Africa,
which was really exciting!
