Sasol Techno X sponsors three competitions for learners from Grade 7 to Grade 12 to encourage learners to indulge in the world of mathematics, science and technology. Entry forms were mailed to schools to ensure they met the closing date for entries of 30 June 2019. Winners will be announced at Sasol Techno X as per the schedule on each competition leaflet. Winners not present at the prize giving will be informed telephonically.
The Sasol Techno X 2019 Projects Competition for learners from the Mpumalanga province, provides an opportunity for Gr 7 to Gr 12 learners to contribute to innovation and idea generation. It provides a platform for enthusiasts who are interested in scientific topics beyond those covered by the school syllabus. It also gives learners the opportunity to do research and extend their school projects beyond the curriculum specifications.
This competition entails that learners follow a scientific project process to investigate a problem in any of the specified 14 categories. Apart from the more traditional mathematics and engineering disciplines, fields beyond the school curriculum such as animal/veterinary science, health care, energy, astronomy and space science may be investigated.
Projects are displayed at the Sasol Techno X where judges will interview participants on their findings as part of the evaluation process. Winning learners and their schools receive handsome cash prizes, the highest prize being R1 000 for the winning school.
The Sasol Techno X Art Competition provides an opportunity for learners to “Dream. Explore. Become” through art that depicts mathematics, science and technology. Artworks using waste recyclables are entered in a separate category. An open artwork category is available for Gr 11 and Gr 12 learners in which artworks don’t necessarily have to depict mathematics, science and technology.
Sasol Techno X 2019 is presenting this competition to increase environmental awareness. Gr 4 – Gr 12 learners are encouraged to create a fashion garment from used recyclable material. Fashion shows will be held at Sasol Techno X 2019 at 11:30 from 1 to 2 August 2019 depending on your relevant grade. Grade 4-6 learners compete on 1 August 2019, Grade 7-9 learners compete on 2 August 2019 and Grade 10-12 learners compete on 2 August 2019.
