Eskom Expo for Young Scientists @Exposcience

This #WorldOceansDay come enjoy the greatest shoal on Earth! 🐟🐟🐟 The Sardine Run sees millions of sardines migrate along South Africa's coast, attracting sharks, dolphins, whales, seals and seabirds in one of nature's greatest spectacles. 🎥 @lsterbic @prodivesardinerun

"The ocean truly is the 💙 of the planet. Without the ocean, life could not exist." On #WorldOceansDay, hear from Marine Biologist and Oceanographer Dr. @SylviaEarle on why we need to take action to #SaveOurOcean for people, planet 🌎 and a better future for all.

Ocean explorer Fabien Cousteau introduces the 3rd World Ocean Assessment — a landmark report created by 550+ experts from 86 countries. This global checkup on ocean health provides the science & solutions needed to help safeguard our shared future. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

The oceans are vital to weather forecasting and climate prediction. Here are 5 reasons: 1️⃣ Your 7-day weather forecast depends on ocean observations. Observations provide data on sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, as well as waves and sea ice. #worldoceansday

This #WorldOceansDay, let us reimagine our relationship with the ocean and how we can take care of it. Marine migratory species remind us that the ocean is a connected system that sustains life across the planet. Whales transport nutrients between ecosystems, sharks help maintain balanced marine food webs, and sea turtles and rays support healthy seagrass beds and coral reef ecosystems. With the entry into force of the new High Seas Treaty (#BBNJ), 2026 marks a historic milestone of a new era for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in the high seas, an area covering two-thirds of the world’s ocean. It is time to work together across borders and across the board to ensure a healthy ocean and thriving wildlife as part of our shared future. Learn more: cms.int/news/high-seas…

Did you know? ➡️ The ocean produces 50% of the planet’s oxygen. ➡️ The ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people employed by ocean-based industries. ➡️ Oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans. #WorldOceansDay

District Expos are the perfect platform for learners to refine their projects before advancing to Regional Science Fairs taking place nationwide from July. Tip for learners: Keep a neat journal or logbook documenting your planning, testing, observations and improvements throughout your research journey. Handwritten journals and notes are accepted at District Expos. Good documentation helps judges understand your thought process and research development.

The ocean is an essential component of Earth’s infrastructure of life. On #WorldOceanDay, we invite you to be part of a rising tide of 🌊 action, including through the implementation of the #KMGBF. Read the statement by @SchomakerAstrid: 🔗cbd.int/article/2026-W…

The ocean covers more than 70 per cent of the planet and regulates climate, sustains biodiversity, and supports economies and cultures worldwide. It’s the foundation of life on Earth. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

The historic resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 2022 is very clear: access to clearn and healthy environment is a human right. States must make this right a reality for everyone and everywhere, and step up their efforts to achieve it. We must act #NowForClimate!

Happy #WorldOceansDay 💙 Our oceans sustain life around the world, from the wildlife within it to the communities who depend on it. This Ocean Action Month, join us in protecting the future of our blue planet 👉 oceana.ly/4vrBpWX

She is life. Our future. Our responsibility. She is our ocean. 🌊 Though she faces growing threats, we still have the power to protect her — but we must #ActNow. Our voices, choices and actions matter. Monday is UN World Oceans Day. unworldoceansday.org #SaveOurOcean

July 2026 marks the launch of the first-ever National Science Month, creating a month-long platform to celebrate the power of science, technology, and innovation in transforming lives and shaping the future. Schools, organisations, institutions, communities, and individuals are encouraged to take part by organising activities that demonstrate how science, technology, and innovation can benefit everyone.

Three South African young scientists have returned home with outstanding results after representing the country at the 1923 International Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Fair (IMSEF) held in İzmir, Türkiye, from 1 to 6 June 2026. The South African delegation included Connor Kinnes, a Grade 11 learner from Elkanah House High School in Cape Town; Joshua Danilatos, a Grade 11 learner from Graeme College in Makhanda; and Rorisang Mohau Mohlobuli, a Grade 9 learner from Hoërskool Bloemfontein in the Free State. The delegation was led by Palesa Selepe, Eskom Expo Ekurhuleni Regional Science Fair Director. The learners achieved the following results: • Connor Kinnes: First Place and Gold medal in Engineering, and Best Project in Engineering • Joshua Danilatos: First Place and Gold medal in Chemistry • Rorisang Mohau Mohlobuli: Second Place and Silver medal in Mathematics Read more: exposcience.co.za/sa-young-scien… #DiscoverEskomExpo #IMSEF2026 #TeamSouthAfrica #STEM

Congratulations to Connor Kinnes from Elkanah House High School in Cape Town on his outstanding achievement at the 1923 International Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Fair (IMSEF) 2026 in İzmir, Türkiye. Connor received First Place and a Gold medal in the Engineering category, and was awarded Best Project in Engineering for his project, "Project Pathfinder: Design and Optimisation of a Static Test Rocket Motor". Connor said winning both awards was a rewarding culmination of years of effort. “Winning felt like a special moment where the countless hours of hard work paid off. It felt akin to attaining the mark you aimed and worked towards,” he said. Read more: exposcience.co.za/sa-young-scien… #DiscoverEskomExpo #IMSEF2026 #TeamSouthAfrica #STEM
