Anna-Mart Louw, \u2019n graad 9-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Bloemhof, is nie iemand wat rondsit nie. Daarom het sy besluit om \u2019n skoen te ontwikkel wat krag opwek terwyl jy stap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louw het vanjaar met die prys vir die algeheel beste navorsingsprojek by die Eskom-ekspo vir Jong Wetenskaplikes weggestap. Sy het \u2019n goue medalje gewen, is aangewys as die wenner van die energie-kategorie en is uitgenooi om in September aan die International Science Fair deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie skoen wek krag op sonder dat jy enige ekstra moeite hoef te doen en laai \u2019n kragbank,\u201d verduidelik Anna-Mart. Sy werk tans aan \u2019n vierde prototipe wat goedkoop en klein genoeg is sodat dit vir meer mense bekostigbaar kan wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie mense in Suid-Afrika het nie toegang tot elektrisiteit nie of sukkel om dit te bekostig,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar idee met die skoen wat krag opwek wanneer druk op die sool uitgeoefen word, is om mense in staat te stel om \u2019n klein hoeveelheid krag op te wek sonder dat dit hul daaglikse roetine be\u00efnvloed. Di\u00e9 krag kan gebruik word om \u2019n selfoon of batterye te laai, of selfs om \u2019n draagbare lampie aan te skakel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altesaam 380 projekte is by vanjaar se streekuitdunne van die ekspo?uitgestal en jongmense van reg oor die Wes-Kaap het hul wetenskaplike vernuf vertoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 geleentheid is Vrydag 23 Augustus 2019 by die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Bloemhof gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Wim de Villiers, rektor en visekanselier van die Universiteit Stellenbosch, het die gehoor toegespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bloemhof se graad 9-leerders neem aan \u2019n interne ekspo deel waarna die beste projekte vir die streekekspo ingeskryf is. Bloemhof het vanjaar 22 projekte ingeskryf waarvan 18 met medaljes bekroon is. Die sewe goue medaljes wat Bloemhoffers gewen het, het vier kategoriewenners, onder wie Anna-Mart, ingesluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ander wenners was: V<\/span> Nicole Bougas: Beste junior navorsingsprojek in agriwetenskappe V<\/span> Leisha Scheepers: Beste junior navorsingsprojek in biomediese wetenskappe V <\/span>Danielle Flemix: Beste junior navorsingsprojek in fisika, astronomie en ruimtewetenskap. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anna-Mart Louw, \u2019n graad 9-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Bloemhof, is nie iemand wat rondsit nie.
