"Who is HIP2B²? Life after school can be challenging - that's why HIP2B² wants to equip school learners with vital life skills, such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, a love of learning and a curious mindset. Launched after Mark Shuttleworth's pioneering trip into space in 2002, HIP2B² is a unique initiative that aims to spur curiosity in the science and maths in everyday life. In this way it promotes the subject selection of maths and science for grade 10 to grade 12 among learners. HIP2B² is all about edutainment - showing learners that subjects traditionally seen as "difficult" or "hard" can be loads of fun, while being important to their future success.
