Guest Speakers

We have speakers in the Wellington and Auckland areas, and can travel to other areas by arrangement.

What If? Competition 2012

If you were on the International Space Station when a disaster struck on Earth, how could you help?

That's the question we posted to NZ schools – how could space technology and platforms be used in emergency situations.

Cassini Scientist for a Day 2011

Students were invited to think like a scientist and help select the best target for the Cassini spacecraft, as it investigated the Saturn system.

2012 edition now being planned – get in touch if you're interested in participating.
