For centuries, women have been the unsung heroes of scientific discovery, making invaluable contributions in countless ways.
Join us at the Cape Town Science Centre on Saturdays for a weekend programme that celebrates the remarkable achievements of women throughout history in the field of science.
From groundbreaking discoveries in atmospheric chemistry by Susan Solomon, to the incredible discovery of South African naturalist Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, and the coding genius of Margaret Hamilton, who helped land Apollo on the moon — this programme is for everyone who’s passionate about science and history! Explore exhibits, join hands-on workshops, and dive deep into the remarkable achievements of these trailblazing women!
