Grade 9 and 10 learners at KwaSanti Secondary School bring science to life through practical experimentation.

1,000 experiments · 10 years of impact

Science becomes real when learners can see it, test it and do it.

Science2Go has completed its 1,000th practical science experiment at KwaSanti Secondary School in KwaZulu-Natal. The milestone celebrates a decade of widening access to engaging, hands-on science while building teachers’ practical classroom capability.

Step inside the celebration and see practical science come alive.

Press play to watch

Ten years of practical science, curiosity and possibility.

Launched in 2015, Science2Go takes practical equipment and guided experiments into schools where laboratory access is limited. Teacher development is central to the model, helping practical learning continue long after each visit.

“Reaching 1,000 experiments shows what sustained cooperation can achieve.”Jürgen Wolf · MAHLE South Africa

We have benefited a lot from CASME and my learners are now able to perform natural science experiments with the material that arrived with the CASME team because we have absolutely nothing at our school let alone a science lab and learners have never been exposed to laboratory materials. I would recommend CASME to other school that need the same assistance that I received because there are so many other schools like ours.

CASME provided me with a nurturing environment that allowed me to grow both academically and personally. The benefits I gained from CASME were numerous, including improved study skills, increased confidence, and a strong sense of community. As a 2023 matriculant, my future plans involve pursuing a degree in engineering.
