CCS organised a field trip to the telecommunications and defence company Tellumat in Tokai. 41 UCT learners attended the trip where the students were given a presentation by the CEO of Tellumat as well as all the Managing Directors of all the different departments. It was followed by a small tour of the premises and then the students were treated to refreshments as well as each student being given a gift bag with all sorts of free merchandise.

WIE held an outreach initiative at Thandokhulu High School. They spoke about all disciplines in Electrical Engineering to 136 Grade 12 learners. They then split the learners up into groups and used all volunteers who attended the event to facilitate a question and answer session about engineering at UCT. We believe students gained a lot from the event and so it was a great success. Full story...
