the wonders of science and technology to previously disadvantaged learners.<\/p>\n<p>The NPO partnered with the metro, the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE), Gautrain, the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA), as well as Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), to present the upcoming Ekurhuleni Science and Technology Fair 2019.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item

invention, innovation and understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution,\u201d said Dev.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aim to embrace and play a part in implementing the National Science Engagement Strategy of the Department of Science and Technology, and we seek to further the agenda of the Department of Basic Education which encourages learner participation in such fairs as part of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) curriculum.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, this initiative provides learners

scientists, researchers and engineers.<\/p>\n<p>The science fair process involves submission of innovative science and technology projects by Grade Four to Grade 12 learners.<\/p>\n<p>The event will
