SCIENCE STARS OF TOMORROW…

I am constantly amazed by the creativity, passion, and innovative ideas of young talents committed to ensuring improved quality of life and the sustainability of our planet. This issue of Science Stars aims to amplify their voices, share their remarkable journeys, and inspire the next generation of STEM enthusiasts.

We feature inspiring stories about five young African innovators, including a 13-year-old who taught himself to build a generator (page 28). We also spotlight Foondamate, an innovative study buddy that has helped over 1 million students globally (page 29).

Rumaanah Khan, a 20-year-old navigating the tech world, shares her experience with Huawei's skills development learnership programme (page 12). On page 32, grade 10 learner Zariah Parker tells us about her clever solution to the problem of Styrofoam waste.

Read all about BabesGotBytes on page 38 a Cape Town-based NGO that focuses on training young girls and women to code. And for a glimpse into the recently opened Science Education (Sci-Ed) Centre in Bloemfontein, turn to page 42.

I hope these stories ignite your passion for STEM, encourage you to dream big, and empower you to make a difference in the world. Here's to the future talents of science!
