Blue IQ and its partners, the Gauteng Department of Education
[GDE] and their media partner, The Sowetan’s Aggrey Klaaste
Foundation, today launched its fourth Smart Young Mindz Competition. Smart Young Mindz [SYM], a CSI project of Blue IQ, an agency of the
Gauteng Department of Economic Development, is aimed at stimulating
interest among learners in grades 8, 9 & 10 in the fields of maths,
science, technology and entrepreneurship, areas that are identified
both provincially and nationally, as critical to form the backbone of
a competitive and growing economy. SYM encourages them to submit
smart business ideas through the means of an annual competition;
it also motivates learners to investigate problems, wants and needs i
n their communities, and to generate ideas for products or services that
will fill a gap in the market that will become commercially viable. |
