Our speakers were Molly Barton a student at Logan Park High School and Thomas Grayson a student at Otago Boys High School Molly & Thomas received assistance from our club to attend the National Science Forum held at Auckland in January & hosted by Auckland, Massey & AUT Universities Both Molly & Thomas commented how they relished the chance to spend time with like minded people and to learn in a science driven environment. The forum was a residential course starting with morning exercises and then 3-4 hour sessions exposing the participants to a wide range of subjects including a biological session on making proteins, pathology, microbiology, sports science, robotics’ & wireless charging. Without a doubt assisting Molly & Thomas to attend the forum was a great investment as it helped Thomas to settle on his future in the health sciences field specialising in microbiology research into virus’s such as Covid 19. Molly said the forum opened her eyes to a wider field in the psychology/biology area. |
