Our content reaches over 20 000 learners, helping them see themselves in STEM. We’re in The Maverick, at Science Centres nationally and across the country through our network of Science Spaza clubs.
Science Spaza gives organisations, institutions and corporates a meaningful way to support education, inspire future change-makers, and align their brand with youth development and social impact.
We connect curious young minds (ages 12–18) with the stories of real African scientists and innovators.
We co-create
to make science relevant, relatable, and exciting.




































Did you know there is a shortage of matric learners meeting the required math and science marks for university?
We stay motivated and inspired by the Science Spaza network feedback!
