Young SA scientist scoops global award

May 27, 2021 A Johannesburg-based young scientist has scooped a grand award at the 2021 Virtual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the US. Muhammed Hassen, currently in Grade 11 at Greenside High School, was awarded the Second Award of $2 000 (about R27 880) in the engineering mechanics category, sponsored by Society for Science, during an awards ceremony last week. Andrew Etzinger, Eskom’s GM: risk and sustainability, says: “It is always exciting when our local learners compete in international science fairs against the best in the world. On behalf of Eskom, I would like to congratulate Muhammed on his win. The passion, knowledge and skills he demonstrated in the Regeneron ISEF is commendable. Eskom sees the value in Eskom Expo developing a passion for STEMI in young scientists like Muhammed, and providing a platform for these future problem-solvers to take their scientific brilliance to the next level.”

Young scientist revolutionises blood glucose test

May 6, 2021 A young scientist who developed a way to test blood glucose levels without using the traditional way of pricking the finger, will compete against more than a thousand scientists in the world’s largest science fair, the 2021 Virtual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the US. The scientist is Eskom Expo for Young Scientists’ top senior scientist for 2020, Hritik Mitha, a grade 12 learner at Bryanston High School in Johannesburg. His project, “Non-invasive blood glucose level monitoring device”, is aimed at mitigating the drawbacks of the invasive glucometer test. He developed prototypes that proved to be practical and effective in measuring glucose levels to a clinical standard.

Science whizz-kids on the world stage

Science whizz-kids on the world stage By Tanya Waterworth Share Durban - Two of KZN s science whizz-kids will represent South Africa against other top young scientists on the world stage. Faran Steenkamp from Kloof will compete in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) in Singapore in June. This week, it was also announced that Suhaan Singh,16, would represent South Africa in the 2021 Virtual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the US next month. Steenkamp, a matric pupil at Thomas More College in Kloof, will join a team of three other South Africans ‒ two from Gauteng and one from the Western Cape ‒ to compete in the IOI which is regarded as one of the most prestigious science competitions for high-school pupils in the world.
