The promotion of science competencies and interest among learners was done through Science Fair activities that were carried out locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, e.g. by joining similar competitions in Durban, South Africa. Some 17 learners from UB Dax and Kolin Foundation participated in Science Fair activities during the year under review.

In the Erongo regional competition, 14 projects produced 1 gold, 15 silver, and 2 bronze medals. Altogether 17 Arandis learners participated in national science fair competitions, with a total of 12 science projects. The following medals were won: 6 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze. One of the learners obtained the award for the best project overall. Four Grade 6 learners from UB Dax and two Grade 12 from Kolin Foundation participated in the international Science Fair in South Africa as well.

The promotion of science was enhanced by the establishment of a functional laboratory at Kolin Foundation. An inventory of the equipment and chemicals was compiled, while equipment and chemicals for UB Dax were also identified.
