There's still lots to do before our hectic holiday programme hibernates after 15 January. Our upcoming science night sleepover and our weekend events were online on community diaries this week and mentioned by both Cape Talk and Kfm radio stations.
In addition, here's just a brief example of what we're doing on Monday:
Lente Maré from the programme Chess for Change runs her noon-time chess matches.
Our favourite science grandaddy, the 70-something Detlef Basel, comes back from leave and goes straight from the science show in the Ericsson auditorium at 1 pm to running a workshop on black and white photo printing at 2 pm.
Lucky's Lab experiments are on in the afternoon. Will it be electroplating (utilising a jolt of electric current to coat something smoothly with metal?) or static electricity? Either way, it should be electrifying! Find out with the MTN Sciencentre's new education head, Rhyme Shetshedi, a lecturer in radiation physics (x-rays to you and me) and computer skills at CAPUT (Cape Peninsula University of Technology).
You could say he's a rock-solid choice to replace Ruby Frans, as Rhyme did his master's degree at Wits University in Johannesburg in the field of materials science and in particular, diamonds! And it's good to have a seTswana speaker on our multilingual staff.
