ECO GENIUSES

SOUTH Africa's schools are emerging as unexpected powerhouses in climate innovation, with learners building technologies and enterprises that mirror - and in some cases outpace - national policy efforts.

This was the clear message from the 2025 Step Up 2 A Green Start-Up National Youth Entrepreneurship Awards, held on December 9, at Protea Wanderers in Sandton, where nearly 14 000 learners competed for the country's biggest school-based green entrepreneurship honours.

This year's top winners reflected not only creativity but deep technical ability, as teams from township and peri-urban schools delivered solutions to unemployment, water scarcity, pollution, hazardous waste and climate-related risks.

Leap Science and Maths School in Ga-Rankuwa claimed first place with its Job Sweep App, a digital platform designed to connect unemployed youth to micro-jobs in their communities.
