Bringing the world of science to New Zealand’s future scientists

Bringing the world of science to New Zealand’s future scientists

Posted on August 31, 2020 by University of Canterbury


Bringing the world of science to New Zealand’s future scientists

The University of Canterbury’s Summer Science Camp puts the world of science at your fingertips.

Now in its third year, the week-long camp, which this year runs from 12-16 December, sees Year 12 students immersed in a world of science, research and learning. They stay in UC halls of residence, attend lectures, work in the labs, experience field work, meet staff and current students, and hear all about the world-leading research happening at UC.

In a year of huge disruption, it’s hoped UC’s Science Camp will give secondary students from around New Zealand a welcome return to hands-on learning in a field they’re passionate about.

Bethany from Greymouth High School says it was the scope of topics on offer that rated among her highlights of the 2019 UC Science Camp.

“Just being out there in the field, doing things, collecting plants and little invertebrates from the water or taking water samples and just really getting an introduction to all areas of science.”
