African Aerospace and Defence Youth Development program Chairperson Kholisile Khumalo says the program has inspired young people to get into the scientific fields of Astronomy and Aeronautics.
The program started in 2008 and is helping prepare South African youth for the fourth industrial revolution. Their efforts have seen a young female go as far as working for the American space agency, NASA.
