The other participant is the 17-year-old Karabo Mpuru, a former learner at Northern Academy in Polokwane. Karabo will showcase her research project, \u201cFinding the constant difference in an Arithmetic sequence\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this study it was proven that the two formulae developed can be used to find the common difference in any arithmetic sequence. These formulae work for even, odd and all types of sequences, making them reliable and practical. The findings are important because they help students save time in tests, improve problem-solving skills and support further learning in mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event will be held at the National Taiwan Science Education Center in Taipei, featuring school-going researchers from around the world. It serves as a major platform for young scientists to share their work and encourage international collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event is taking place from 31 January to 7 February. The learners will travel under the guidance of delegation leader Toinette Horn, director of the Eskom Expo Stellenbosch Regional Science Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mologadi Motshele, acting chief executive officer of the Eskom Development Foundation, said: \u201cThe participation of our South African learners at the prestigious Taiwan International Science Fair reflects the international standard, innovation and scientific curiosity demonstrated by our young scientists. Eskom is proud to support these learners as they push boundaries, explore new ideas and showcase the future of science and innovation. We remain committed to empowering the next generation of scientists and engineers through the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registration to take part in the Eskom Expo is open. Learners in Grades 4 to 12 and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, NC(V) Level 2 to NC(V) Level 4 students, can register their research projects by visiting www.exposcience.co.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
