The School of Chemistry and the Wits Whizzbang recently hosted learners from New Nation High School, providing them with the lab space and resources to support underprivileged high school learners who lack the facilities to conduct experiments at their own school. This initiative aimed to offer hands-on scientific experience over the course of a week. The programme concluded with an engaging science experiment show presented by the Whizzbang team. #WitsForGood #WitsWhizzbang
