Eskom Expo District Expos are not competitions. They are feedback and support sessions where learners have one-on-one discussions with judges, mentors, Regional Science Fair Directors and Provincial Coordinators to strengthen their research projects. District Expos are the first compulsory level of participation in the Eskom Expo journey.
