<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>National Science Week (4-9 August 2014), is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It is a countrywide celebration of science run in all nine provinces of South Africa simultaneously at multiple sites per province. In particular, Gauteng province regional events will be hosted at the Soweto Science Centre by the University of Johannesburg. The event is expected to be well attended by learners, teachers the media, the general public, policy makers and many stakeholders in the area of Science and Technology. The Soweto Science Centre has made a measurable impact in the academic performance of schools in its feeder region, and it is an increasingly a successful vehicle for science communication. This year, for the first time, the activities will include a virtual tour of ATLAS. The virtual tour will be preceded by public lectures on High Energy Physics at ATLAS.</p>
