As you may know, each year the MacDiarmid Institute runs a four-day all expenses paid science camp for Māori and Pacific Island Year 12/13 school students, giving them a chance to spend time in a university environment studying nanoscience with MacDiarmid Institute researchers.
Applications are now open for DiscoveryCamp 2025 and will close Sunday 25th August 2024. The details of the camp are noted below.
The MacDiarmid Institute’s annual all-expenses paid DiscoveryCamp will run between 19th and 23rd January 2025 and will be held at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha – University of Canterbury.
The four-day, all-expenses-paid residential programme gives current Year 12 and Year 13 students the opportunity to learn about nanoscience through lectures and lab experience with MacDiarmid Institute investigators, as well as giving them a chance to experience University life for a few days.
MacDiarmid Institute DiscoveryCamp – Te Tohu Huraina – is designed specifically for Māori and Pacific Island students in their final years of high school; the programme’s aim is to enhance the students’ science knowledge, inspire a love of discovery and help them carve out a career in science.
Each summer they also offer DiscoveryCamp alumni the opportunity to gain further hands-on experience and knowledge in their MacDiarmid Institute labs.
Applications for DiscoveryCamp 2025 are now open and will close on 25th August 2024. In order to apply, students simply need to visit their website here.
