| Event Description: | FASESA - Space Week South Africa will be a Space Science fair that will bring together local & international industry experts, organizations and corporations that operate in the space domain. This Space Science fair will include exhibitions, presentations, and keynote speeches aimed at cultivating the South African youth minds and the general public’s interest in space education and the space industry. Space Week will provide educational and networking opportunities for the participants. Space Week is tailor-made for teachers, students and space enthusiasts who are passionate about aerospace and are looking for ways to create holistic, hands-on activities in the classroom. Through Space Week, we hope to usher in a new age of education and technology in South Africa. STEM teachers & students will benefit most from this event. Space Week event was a tremendous success, thanks to the collective efforts of everyone involved. We successfully brought together key stakeholders, including the Western Cape Department of Education, The South African National Space Agency, the Stellenbosch University Engineering Department, South African aerospace companies, and high schools, creating an invaluable network that will shape the future of aerospace in South Africa. By bridging the gap between high schools, the Department of Education, engineering universities, and aerospace companies, we have paved the way for countless students to embark on a promising career path. This event not only showcased the vast opportunities within the aerospace sector but also provided a clear trajectory for students, guiding them from their high school years to university and, eventually, the dynamic aerospace industry in our country. |
