Event description

Nau mai, haere mai!

Welcome to the Festival of Women and Girls in Science

In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we invite you to join us as we explore the incredible world of science through the lens of women's achievements and discoveries!

The aim of our festival is to inspire curiosity and passion for science in girls and young women through engaging hands-on activities, interactive demonstrations, and meaningful connections with women scientists. We want to showcase the diverse and exciting ways science shapes our understanding of the world, while highlighting the vital contributions women make across all scientific fields.

With a focus on tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau, our goal is to create an environment where girls can see themselves as future scientists, build confidence in STEM subjects, and experience the joy of scientific discovery. Through our interactive exhibits and demonstrations, visitors will have the opportunity to explore everything from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space, guided by women who are leading the way in their fields
