STEM
The future of technology, innovation, and leadership is not just arriving: it is accelerating.
Across South Africa, thousands of talented high school learners dream of building careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). They are tomorrow's software architects, quantum engineers, roboticists, and biotech pioneers. However, access to world-class industry insights, global networks, and cutting-edge technology remains out of reach for many.
The GetGo Fund has partnered with the Singularity South Africa Summit 2026 (taking place in Johannesburg) to change this narrative.
We are raising R205,000.00 to fund 20 promising STEM learners to attend Africa’s premier exponential technology and innovation summit. This campaign gives our next generation a front-row seat to the future, empowering them to transition from passive consumers of technology to active creators of global solutions.
🌟 Why Attending Singularity SA Summit 2026 is Life-Changing for STEM Learners
The Singularity South Africa Summit is not just a technology conference: it is a high-impact platform designed to help leaders navigate rapidly advancing technologies and global grand challenges.
By attending the summit in Johannesburg, these 20 learners will gain unmatched exposure to key technological and leadership domains:
🔬 Direct Access to Frontiers in STEM & Exponential Tech
⚡ Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Computing: Learners will hear from world leaders like Dr Mark Jackson (Quantum Computing) and Dr Natalie Raphil (Robots Can Think / Women in AI) on how AI sovereignty, machine learning, and quantum mechanics are reshaping industries.
🧬 Biotech & Longevity: Exposure to breakthroughs in biotechnology, digital health, and human augmentation (featuring talks by bionic woman Tilly Lockey and biotech futurists).
🤖 Robotics, Cyber Security & Infrastructure: Learning about smart cities, spatial computing (Cathy Hackl), and building digital infrastructure in Africa (Hardy Pemhiwa).
🧠 Developing an "Abundance & Exponential Mindset"
📈 Traditional STEM education often focuses on existing formulas. Singularity shifts their focus to exponential thinking: understanding how technologies double in power and how to use them to solve Africa’s biggest challenges in energy, climate, healthcare, and education.
🤝 Human-Centred Leadership & Ethic-Driven Innovation
🎓 Featuring sessions by Mic Mann on the Future of Education and Celiwe Ross on Leadership in Complexity, learners will discover that technical skills must be paired with human capabilities: adaptability, courage, critical thinking, and ethics.
🌐 Networking with Africa’s Tech & Business Pioneers
💼 Learners will interact with global speakers, local innovators, researchers, and corporate sponsors. This experience opens doors to mentorship, academic inspiration, and future career pathways in high-demand STEM fields.
💖 How Your Contribution Makes an Impact
🌱 R10,250 sponsors 1 learner’s complete summit experience (Ticket, materials, all meals and workshop access).
🏆 R205,000 unlocks the door for all 20 learners to represent the future of South African STEM.
