South African Science Fairs

From 2012 until 2023, this website was used to manage North Gauteng Science Fairs, SAYESS and several other successful science fairs.

In 2024, these Science Fairs will continue as usual, using a different platform!

As soon as the new website is available, a link will be added. In the meantime, please contact the organises for further information about these events.

North Gauteng Senior Science Fair

North Gauteng Senior Science Fair is the oldest science fair in South Africa. It caters for learners in grades 7-12.

North Gauteng Junior Science Fair

North Gauteng Junior Science Fair was introduced to accommodate younger learners, in grades 1-6. It was separated from the senior event to better accommodate the younger learners.

Northern Cape Science Fair

Northern Cape Science Fair is organised by iMbewu Science Foundation, in the Postmasburg area.

SAYESS National Science Fair

SAYESS is a national/international science fair organised by iMbewu Science Foundation. Learners must be selected at a regional science fair to participate.


Over the years, the website grew from a simple website into a sophisticated science fair management database that was too large for a volunteer to manage in their spare time. We look forward to announcing the new platform that will be used to manage these events in 2024.
