Pupils worked their way around highly complex brain teasers, mathematical challenges and science problems, as well as a maze of Cape Town heritage sites, as they competed in the fast-and-furious Mark Shuttleworth HIP2B2 iThink Challenge at the weekend.
Minister of Science and Technology Naledi Pandor said that the HIP2B2 iTHINK Challenge was a great initiative. "Our future innovators need to be open to new ideas, ready to think fast and able to draw together a range of information to derive solutions to problems."

The winners were Waterkloof and Helpmekaar high schools in Gauteng.
