About Us

Our Mission

  • The NIWA Auckland Science and Technology Fair, which is an annual event, celebrates the excellence in scientific and technological investigation carried out by Auckland City Year 7 to Year 13 students.
  • Science is the gathering and processing of data using scientific methods in response to an observation and/or hypothesis. 
  • Technology is the process of development of a useful, high quality device, or environment in response to an identified need or opportunity. 
  • The judging panel is comprised of experienced teachers, scientists, engineers and technologists.
  • The exhibits are judged against criteria, which enables the winning senior exhibits to be nominated to the RSNZ Powering Potential programme and International Science and Technology Fairs.
  • The NIWA Auckland Science and Technology Fair acknowledges that Science and Technology covers all cultures and is an international language. 
  • The Organising Committee includes Science and Technology teachers and NIWA representatives.
