OPPORTUNITY - SENIOR STUDENTS


MacDiarmid Institute NanoCamp and DiscoveryCamp

Experience science in a fun and supportive hands-on environment, and get to work with some of New Zealand’s top researchers! Selected Year 12 and 13 students will have a full week of residential lab experience delving into materials science and nanotechnology with  MacDiarmid Institute top scientists, completing hands-on investigations into various topics including electron microscopy, laser physics and nano-electronics.  

The programmes are intended to nurture students’ interest in science, expose them to possible career options and encourage them to enrol in a science degree programme at tertiary level.  While academic achievement is important for the selection process, so too are personal goals and teacher references.

Applications for both programmes close 11 November 2016.
