Some of the Postgraduate Certificate in Education students visited the Magic Classroom at the College of Magic earlier on this week. As the UCT news story says "Magic is science".

The College of Magic's latest initiative sees school pupils from across Cape Town visit the College of Magic for a 2 hour interactive experience which takes the curriculum subjects of light, optics and colour to create a truly magical, one of a kind science lesson. The program was endorsed a 2006 Technology Top 100 qualifier by the Department of Science and Technology.
