Science Spaza is an exciting, fun and interactive science learning experience bringing curriculum-linked science resources to schools around SA.
Science Spaza is an exciting, fun and interactive science learning experience bringing curriculum-linked science to disadvantaged schools around South Africa through science clubs. This is an initiative of Jive Media Africa, an award-winning multimedia company. Science Spaza aims to support the development of science clubs around the country and has developed resources to guide and support these science clubs.
We believe that through fun and engaging activities, science literacy in schools can be improved.
We organise and host events in schools that want to open (or have) a science club, to show what fun means in science. For more information on this and more, contact us. We would be happy to hear from you.
