Have you built something that you’d like to show off to the country? Do you have an opinion on a gadget, game or anything at all that’s vaguely techie that you’d like to share? Do you do unboxings on YouTube that nobody watches and you’d like a bit more exposure?

Well, here’s your chance: EDGE, the TV show we collaborate on, has put out a call to all and sundry for gadget reviews, unboxings, hacks and invention showcases, which they’d like to review and use in the show if they pass muster.

You’ll need to make a video of whatever it is you’re talking about/showing off, and submit it to EDGE. You can do that on their Facebook page, via Twitter (@190ed) and also via their official web site.

You will be contacted should the producers like what they see, and your creation could potentially end up on EDGE, which airs on DStv channel 190.

SciBraai, a proudly South African NPO dedicated to science journalism, communication and outreach. SciBraai began on Heritage Day 2013 - Anina Mumm and Engela Duvenage in 2013 launched the website, scibraai.co.za, to feature stories about South African research, technology and innovation, and the people behind the discoveries. This blog welcomes all South Africans to go behind the scenes of local science and exploration endeavors. It’s a place to share stories about the scientists themselves and the interesting, little-known activities that are often left out of research journals. A place to learn more about the stuff that makes South African science and its people tick. A place to feel inspired about what South Africans are discovering on home soil and abroad. Because local is lekker, no matter what language you use. SciBraai's following has grown in the past years, and we are now on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We've also begun organising real-life braai's where we share round-the-fire stories about South African science and scientists.
