1 Single region projects Project Description Organisation Themes Areas/Regions Grant Connecting Science with Creativity Using the Power of Story and the Allure of our Natural Environment Sea Science: Partnering with primary-aged children to creatively unpack beach clean-up data Microbes: Friends, Enemies or Frenemies? Haeora: The Pollinators and The Pollinisers Te Pākarito - Matakōkiri and SCION Partnership RoboPa Extreme Science - Taking Science to the Chathams 3 Dimensional Design, Imagination is the Limitation An inspirational mix of science and filmmaking. Scientists and youth together explore the natural environment of Auckland, and the youth turn this experience into short films for a community event. Partnering with primary schools and their communities in a beach clean-up activity to develop a creative communications strategy to minimise the impact of coastal debris. A workshop where and Pasifika students use a scientific approach and their own cultural perspectives to research a current scientific real-world problem: what can be done about antimicrobial resistance? Haeora - the pollinators and the pollinisers, studies indigenous and introduced bees, engaging science technology and mātauranga to develop frameworks for healthy and sustainable human and environmental life. Te Taumata o Ngati Whakaue in collaboration with Scion will develop a platform for students to investigate and explore innovative uses of harakeke by making a practical and sustainable product. RoboPa is a maker-space where youth can access technologies, code and equipment. Participants will engage in computational tasks designed to challenge them to solve problems in a team environment. Extreme Science takes leading edge science to NZ's most remote communities on the Chatham and Pitt Islands. We will captivate schools and the community, and catalyse a passion for science. Sixty Year 9 students and twelve teachers will be challenged over three intensive days as they learn about and use 3D Printers, 3D Scanners, Virtual/Augmented Reality and Laser Cutting equipment.

2 unlocking students' minds Hawke s Bay Branch of the RSNZ Y7&8 Science & Technology Camp 2017 Experiential learning about climate change What lies beneath - looking at the changing ground environment in South Dunedin Science Works - Inspiring STEM Career Experiences Science Playground: Explore, Experience, Explain Project Hotspot: Capturing Local Knowledge on Coastal Threatened Species in Taranaki O tatou tamariki, nga Kaitiaki Taiao. Our children, our environmental guardians Lake Taupō Forestry Science and Technology Workshops and Whānau Science Day scientific knowledge of stream and apiary ecology in local contexts that are relevant to everyday lives. This project will engage Year 7 & 8 students in Hawke s Bay in hands-on workshops where they will learn about the application of STEM in their community and NZ. Promoting experiential learning opportunities for students to engage with climate change science through experiments by scientists, field visit to experience agricultural emission reduction centre and 'student scientist climate change kits. What lies Beneath brings together students and geological scientists to study the changing ground environment under South Dunedin, which is facing significant challenges with rising sea levels over time Science Works creates science choosers by connecting year 9 and 10 students with innovative businesses to provide inspirational, behind-the-scenes experiences of STEM careers before making important NCEA subject decisions. Science Playground will develop a suite of science play equipment that encourage explorations, experimentations, and explanations and nurtures curiosity for young kiwi kids (under 7). Project Hotspot aims to capture local knowledge on coastal threatened species in Taranaki and use this information to better protect these species and their habitats. An ecology project to excite the future generation of conservation leaders. Young New Zealanders will critically think about the foraging ranges of introduced predators by GPS tracking pet cats. These hands-on exploratory workshops introduce young students to science and technology, emphasising connections to their natural environment. A whanau science day helps students share what they have learned.

What are their habitat needs? Making the Cultural Connections This project offers primary and intermediate students and their teachers, the opportunity to participate in five, 1½ hour hands on workshops, where they will learn about robotics and basic coding Students from three Wairarapa schools rise to the challenge to research new technologies, and design a science learning hub and sustainable farming enterprise on an empty school field. We are introducing rangatahi to the possibilities of creating nature-rich suburbs through the science of species translocations, based on a titipounamu/rifleman translocation from Wainuiomata to ZEALANDIA. What do you get if you mix a kura and a whare wananga? Increased access to science teaching and learning in te reo. After school, hands-on science that provides a platform to generate enthusiasm and excitement about science and technology that will pave the way for students ongoing engagement and success. In school, hands-on fun science activities to engage, enthuse and inspire the next generation with science and technology. Tuatinitini Oranga o te Awa - Weaving together the strands to ensure the well-being of the Awa, delivering an innovative multi-faceted project focusing on achieving sustainable solutions for the awa. Engaging children in technology based creator projects using design software and employing STEM principles to produce an outcome that demonstrates the impact of science and technology on their lives Connecting students and community through science. Discovering the range of native species in our local ecosystem, recording and investigating measures to both preserve these species and enhance their habitats.

This project will expand the new Whitebait Connection National Inanga Spawning Programme into early childhood centres and kura kaupapa developing new resources in Te Reo and Te Whariki curriculum. Ahi Pepe MothNet Aotearoa is citizen science that aims to engage teachers, tamariki (children), and whanau with moths, ecology and how science is conducted and connected to everyday life. Through their own DNA analyses, teachers can demonstrate the value of DNA for studying human migrations. Their students, through video-recording, can celebrate and share their own family journeys to Aotearoa. Local manuka will be collected by school students across all NZ and tested for bioactivity in class. The results will put schools "on the map" of national manuka variation. QuakeCraft: Earthquake Resilient Housing is a fun and innovative project based learning initiative, which encouraged year 10 students to design, build, customise, and test their own pop-up sustainable model house.
