SAASTA Schools Debates


The Debates project seeks to present scientific information to the youth of South Africa in a manner that will stimulate them intellectually and encourage them to engage each other on science-related issues.

The core objectives behind this project are to:

  • Disseminate scientific information to high school learners in a manner that is both fun and interactive to stimulate interest;

  • Facilitate dialogue between young people from all walks of life throughout the whole of South Africa on science, engineering and technology; and

  • Promote science, engineering and technology-related careers to young people in South Africa with the hope that they will pursue careers in those fields.
