National Science Fair

Two weeks after the Provincial Science Fair in Tete I travelled to the National Science Fair in Maputo.  Students from each province competed in the fair, including the two students who won the Tete Provincial Fair.  Overall, the National Fair was an impressive event.  It was two full days in length and included presentations by the students, demonstrations by professors, cultural dance performances, and theater performances. Here are some photos of the event.
