What the teachers had to say...

"My students loved their time at the science expo. It was full of a variety of interesting and engaging hands-on workshops which covered a wide range of sciences and with a New Zealand focus. Our inquiry topic is on energy so our students were able to observe a lot of what they were learning in real-world examples and experiments. Thank you, Andrea, for a great experience."
