Engineering Science Technology. Alexia Hilton Smedmor, Grade 10 learner at Parktown High School for Girls in the Johannesburg Region, has earned the opportunity to compete at the International Festival of Engineering, Science and Technology in Tunisia (I-FEST2). The festival is from 22 to 28 March 2024. This achievement follows her outstanding performance at the Eskom Expo International Science Fair (ISF) in 2023.
Alexia, a Silver medal recipient at last year’s Eskom Expo ISF, utilised four different fuel cells as a nature-based technology to bring about environmental remediation while producing energy. The Spekboom Microbial Fuel Cells generated enough current for low-voltage remote monitoring devices.
