NC learner to represent SA in Broadcom MASTERS
Congratulations to Chaylin Myburgh from Kimberley Girls’ High School in the Northern Cape who was selected by Eskom Expo to travel to Atlanta, Georgia in the USA to represent South Africa in the Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering as Rising Stars) International Programme which runs alongside the 2022 #RegeneronISEF!
Although Chaylin will be expected to present her project to the other finalists, the programme is more focused on individual development and leadership. For these reasons, the Eskom Expo panel felt that Chaylin was an excellent candidate.
Chaylin’s project aimed to compare two solar water heaters, mostly made from recycled materials, one with an aluminium can and the other with a steel can to determine which can heats water the fastest. With the extension of the project, a silicone bottle and glass jar were added to determine whether these materials would allow water to heat faster. It was found that aluminium cans allowed water to be heated the fastest. This could potentially be used when designing new solar water heaters.
