Sasol Techno X 2022 showcases South Africa’s next generation of leaders and innovators in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics and Innovation (STEAMI) from 12 to 16 September.
This year, Sasol Techno X is going virtual for the first time to reach a wider audience and bring STEAMI into homes, schools and offices in South Africa and the rest of the world. During this interactive experience, visitors will be immersed in the future of science and the endless possibilities of technology through tours, lectures, demonstrations and hands-on activities and workshops.
“Nearly a third of young graduates in South Africa are unemployed. Sasol Techno X highlights how a STEAMI education can open up unprecedented opportunities for young people in jobs and roles we could not have imagined 20 years ago. When we encourage more young people to become scientists, engineers, technologists and innovators, we will unleash our country’s economic potential and international competitiveness, said Noxolo Kahlana, head of the Sasol Foundation. “Young people who choose a career in this dynamic field have the opportunity to thrive, explore, create, create and make a difference.”
Using the latest interactive virtual technology, Sasol Techno X provides a space for students and teachers to interact and engage with the STEAMI activities that are part of the school’s curriculum.
Visitors to Techno X Online can look forward to exhibition stands powered by innovative interactive tools such as:
- Live text based chat
- Video uploads
- Social media links
- Website links
- Unlimited downloadable brochures.
Kahlana added, “Sasol aims for positive change, driving shared socio-economic value and caring deeply for our people, planet and community. We are proud to help develop a smarter, STEAMI literate, entrepreneurial, creative and productive generation of students. As one of the country’s leading STEAMI employers, we encourage young people to attend this event to learn more about the sector and to apply for a Sasol Foundation scholarship if they are considering a career with great promise and exciting opportunities.
