South Africans are invited to participate in National Science Week 2024, which will take place from 30 September to 5 October 2024 under the theme: “Living in a high-tech world: should we be concerned?“

This annual event aims to close the gap between society and science, since science has an impact on every aspect of people’s lives. The goal is to build a South African society that has the necessary knowledge about science, is aware of scientific and technological developments, and can form its own opinions about science matters.

Science is all around us, and people from all sectors of society are encouraged to participate and demonstrate how they relate to technology and how it affects their everyday life. For suggestions on how to creatively design your own activities to celebrate National Science Week, click here.
