50,000 visitors, more on the way

Our exhibit launched at Maropeng on the 20th of January, it was brilliant. Four of the scientists visited - Bones, GeoTime, Insight and Cosimc Dawn,, Clyde Beech, our artist was there, the funders from The Canadian High Commission and GENUS were there and at one point a visiting class of learners mobbed the scientists and Clyde for their autographs. That was almost two months ago and we’ll soon pass the 10,000 visitor mark! The feedback from leaners has been wonderful, almost half of them have filled out coloured cards with their superpower dreams, drawings, and real world concerns. The exhibit runs at Maropeng until June and will travel from there.

The exhibit was seen by at least 50,000 visitors while at Maropeng and then moved on to the Sci Bono Discovery Centre, the largest science centre in South Africa for sure. The response from learners was delightful, drawings, and hopes and dreams written out on hundreds, 700, colourful cards.
