DATES SET FOR SCIENCE QUIZ
The dates for Mintek's popular science quiz for grade 12 learners have been
set early this year so as not to clash with private and public school holidays.
The regional quiz that takes place in all nine provinces will be held on
Friday, February 28, 2003. The national final at which winners from the regional
events will compete for prizes will be held at Mintek in Randburg on Thursday,
April 10, 2003.
The competition is aimed at making science popular and promoting interest in
careers in the fields of science, engineering and technology (SET), especially
in the minerals field, in an attempt to improve South Africa's problem of
insufficient technologically qualified young people.
Minquiz has been running for the past 15 years, and has provided Mintek with
some excellent candidates for its bursary programme. Co-sponsors of the quiz
this year include Rand Refinery, Algorax and Rennies.
Entry forms for the competition are available from Ms Ann Guest at Mintek.
