THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Working World Exhibition was recently transformed into a hub of excitement, particularly at the Nelson Mandela Bay Science & Technology Centre stand, in Kariega.
School learners were captivated as they dived into the world of science, conducting mini-experiments in test tubes and using microscopes to explore the intricate details of everyday objects. These hands-on activities were designed to ignite learners’ enthusiasm for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, highlighting the impactful work of the MBDA-supported NMB Science and Technology Centre in Kariega.
“This event is all about igniting curiosity in young minds,” said Nicole Klokow, MBDA’s Marketing, Communications, and Investment Promotion Manager. “The interactive experiences we provided were meant to inspire future scientists and engineers, showing them the exciting career paths available.”
The Working World Exhibition is a longstanding annual event in the city, expanding each year to open up more possibilities for high school students as they plan their future educational and career journeys. It serves as an essential platform for students to explore diverse fields and make informed decisions about their futures.
“The increased participation and interest from students this year have been remarkable,” Klokow added. “It’s encouraging to see such a strong interest in STEM fields, and we are thrilled to be a part of nurturing that passion.”
Through engaging, practical experiences, the exhibition successfully connected students with potential careers, equipping them with knowledge and inspiration to pursue science and technology. The Nelson Mandela Bay Science & Technology Centre continues to play a pivotal role in this mission, fostering a new generation of innovators and thought-leaders.
