Introduction

The SAEON Education Outreach Programme seeks to attract, expose and encourage 14-17 year old learners to pursue science careers at higher education institutions. By interacting with scientist and researchers, learners get a hands-on experience of scientific research in environmental monitoring and observation. The Programme is coordinated by the National Office and implemented by the Nodes. The target groups are Grades 9, 10 and 11 teachers, learners and the community.
