3rd Annual Young Scientist Tanzania takes place

The 3rd annual Young Scientist Tanzania Exhibition took place at the Diamond Jubilee Hall in August. The event which is sponsored by the Embassy, is modelled on the BT Young Scientist in Ireland.

The winners of the 2014 event were Shariha Amour Ali and Salma Kalfan Omar from Lumumba Secondary School in Unguja (Zanzibar). Their project titled "Changing attitudes to control flies in Tanzania" combined excellent technical and scientific content while addressing the large local issue of flies which their islands experiences.
