Good news, leaners have until Thursday, March 1st, 2018 to enter the 2017 edition of DStv Eutelsat Star Awards Competition. The closing date has been extended so that popular science and technology fans between the ages of 14 and 19 can have extra time to be inspired to write a creative essay or design a poster. This year’s topic is “It’s sixty years since the first satellite, Sputnik, was launched, broadcasting a unique and easily captured ‘beep, beep, beep’ signal. Looking back at this historic moment, write an essay or design a poster depicting how satellites have launched humankind into the 21st Century and acted as a unifier.”
