Judges

Each year at the Zimbabwe Science Fair, hundreds of young scientists from all over the country compete for awards, scholarships, internships and prizes. 

Zimbabwe Science Fair 2023 is planned to be held virtually and in-person in Harare on 22 - 24 February. 

Prejudging of projects/selection of finalists will be from 22 January to 30 January 2023 and will be done online.

By volunteering, you can play an important role in encouraging these students to become the future science and engineering leaders of tomorrow.
