Cape Town student Connor Kinnes, 17, wins major recognition at the 1923 International Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Fair (IMSEF) in İzmir, Türkiye. According to multiple reports, Kinnes takes both the First Place and the Best Project awards in the Engineering category. He is described as a learner from Elkanah House High School in South Africa. The coverage frames the achievement as a notable result for a South African student at an international STEM competition, highlighting his performance in the engineering track at the fair. The reports agree on the key details of the event and outcomes: IMSEF is held in İzmir, Türkiye, Kinnes competes in the Engineering category, and he receives both top honours. Beyond the awards, the articles provide only limited additional information about the specific project or the criteria used, but they consistently present Kinnes’s dual win as the central development of the story.
