After four long months of never-ending washing, sorting and identifying ant species, the Iimbovane project team was once again ready to tackle the road for the annual data handover event. The data handover took place from the 14th to the 27th of August 2009.

The year 2010 had an early start for life science educators taking part in the Iimbovane outreach project, with an invigorating hands-on workshop that was held on the 7th – 8th January.

The last week of the school winter holiday was the time for learners from the Iimbovane Sugar Ant Schools to visit the Iimbovane ant laboratory to learn more about the wonderful world of ants. From the 4th July to 9th July 2010 seventeen Grade 10 learners from various schools in the Western Cape visited the laboratory.

Two learners participating in the Iimbovane Outreach Project were selected to present their science project at this year’s regional competition of the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists.

The 2nd National Teachers Conference organized by Working for Water Programme (WfW) was held in Polokwane, Limpopo Province, from the 28th of September to 1st of October 2010 and the Iimbovane Outreach Project was invited to showcase their work.
