2003 was the first year that young scientists (aka "Learners") were invited to participate in a parallel one-day programme of physics lectures and demonstrations at the annual SAIP conference.
A short report on the day can be found here.
Here's a taste of what you missed (or taste of what you might see in Bloemfontein in 2004).
The pictures below capture the moments.
