Four students are off to exclusive science and technology forums throughout New Zealand, and across the Tasman, in 2015 because of their outstanding academic ability.
Bethany Langton received a scholarship to attend the 26th Rotary National Science and Technology Forum in Auckland in January 2015. The forum, which is run annually, is only open to 100 students who showcase outstanding all-round ability in science, math and technology.
Harini Meiyappen and Josie Butcher were also offered places at a science forum in 2015. Both students are headed to the five day Hills Laboratory Forum for Waikato students who display outstanding science and math ability.
Heading across the ditch, is Hugo Brown, who has been offered one of three places for New Zealand students at the National Youth Science Forum in Canberra. The forum aims to encourage and nurture the future generation of scientists and engineers by exposing them to study, research and employment opportunities.
By the end of the forums Bethany, Harini, Josie and Hugo should have a better understanding of the tertiary course that they wish to follow and a fuller appreciation of the place of science and technology in New Zealand (and the world).
