Behind every project presented at the 2026 Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair is a young scientist with a story worth telling.
Some investigated challenges affecting their communities, while others explored new technologies, scientific concepts and innovative solutions. What connects them all is the willingness to ask questions, explore possibilities and turn ideas into research.
As we continue reflecting on the ISF, we celebrate the dedication and determination that brought these projects to life.
Every great discovery begins with curiosity!

Science has a remarkable ability to bring people together! The 2026 Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair provided an opportunity for young scientists from South Africa and other countries to connect, exchange ideas and learn from one another.
Beyond presenting their research projects, participants experienced different cultures, formed friendships and discovered that their shared passion for science transcends geographical boundaries.
These international connections are among the many experiences that make the ISF special.

The true value of participating in the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists International Science Fair extends far beyond winning medals.
Every research project represents months of curiosity, investigation, experimentation, problem-solving and perseverance.
Along the way, young scientists develop critical thinking, communication and presentation skills while learning to defend their findings and respond to challenging questions.
These are skills that will benefit them long after the competition has ended.
At Eskom Expo, every learning experience is an achievement worth celebrating!
