A young scientist's journey often begins with encouragement from a teacher, parent, or mentor. As Eskom Expo for Young Scientists prepares for another exciting year, we invite educators and parents to encourage learners to explore scientific research opportunities in 2027.
Help them identify problems in their surroundings, ask meaningful questions and develop ideas that could lead to exciting discoveries. A classroom or home conversation could start an extraordinary scientific journey.
And with registration for the 2027 Eskom Expo programme expected to open in November, now is the perfect time to start preparing!

What if the solution to a community problem started with a simple question?
Every year, young scientists participating in Eskom Expo for Young Scientists investigate challenges, test ideas and develop innovative solutions through scientific research.
You don't need an expensive laboratory or sophisticated equipment to start exploring an idea. Curiosity, determination and a willingness to investigate are great starting points.
As we look towards 2027, we encourage learners to start observing the world around them.
What problem would you like to solve? What question would you like to investigate? Your next great idea could become an Eskom Expo research project!
Registration for 2027 opens in November! Get a head start by familiarising yourself with our Eskom Expo Guidebook and preparing for your research journey.

The Eskom Expo For Young Scientists - Class of 2027 get ready with your scientific innovation projects. See you next year! – at Rustenburg, South Africa
Every finalist at the 2026 Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair began their journey long before arriving in Boksburg.
The journey started with developing a research idea, preparing a research plan and presenting their work at a District Expo, where learners received valuable feedback.
Successful participants progressed to Regional Science Fairs, where judges evaluated their research further and selected outstanding projects for the international stage.
Along the way came challenges, improvements, learning opportunities and countless hours of hard work.
The ISF celebrated that journey, but the real achievement was the dedication shown every step of the way.
