Teachers, students and the wider community can access our diverse programmes and educational materials including
- A comprehensive science resource library for primary schools
- Teacher professional development
We work with over 300 schools in the North Island, delivering more than 200 resource kits each week. As a result over 8,000 students a week are accessing our hands-on learning experiences.
The science career pipeline must be populated from a young age as students have decided by age 10 what career they will not pursue when leaving school.
Science builds key competencies like critical thinking, questioning and problem solving.
