Grahamstown is a beautiful relatively small university town. Every year they have a big Science Festival attracting 40000 kids. Went there to discuss the twinning of SciFest in Joensuu with the SciFest in Grahamstown. Amongst other ideas we will have a tug-of-war between Finland and South Africa during the festival. Also went to Rhodes University and the Computer Science Department and discussed some collaboration. On Saturday morning I also visited a Science Club for kids that is quite similar to the Technology Club I am involved in. It was nice to see their arrangements and learn from their experiences. During the visit the kids made HIV tests of 9 imaginary patients where there was a story around each patient giving kids an idea also of the risk factors.
