The programmes in our Science and Engineering kete focus on learning from real-life, hands-on experiences. In these programmes, students will focus on making observations, generating and testing ideas, and exploring physical phenomena.
We use the MOTAT collection to investigate scientific phenomena and marvels of engineering while exploring the influence of different cultures and historical periods on the development of science and engineering.
There is something for everyone, from the earliest learners to emergent scientists and engineers.
SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES
Students investigate simple mechanisms and the ways they make our lives easier
Book NowInvestigate the four forces of flight and explore the MOTAT Aviation collection
Book NowFrom rocket science to kitchen science, learn what it takes to be a scientist while having fun along the way. Choose from one of the following options:
Rocket Science: Launch rockets and conduct pressure experiments.
Electricity: Investigate electricity, circuits, conductors, and insulators while building a fan powered car.
Lights, Mirrors and Microscopes: Investigate light, colour, reflection, refraction and microscopes and build a pyramid hologram projector.
Kitchen Chemistry: Investigate chemical reactions while making your own cheese and butter.
Smorgasbord Science: A variety of science experiments exploring sound, magnetism, electricity, light, and biology.
Book NowECE builders use tools to create simple machines, including a skateboard, pulley and catapult. Learners can use real tools while they let their imaginations run wild.
Book NowECE learners engage with stimulating activities that explore the five senses. Make rainbows, mix light colours and climb in the glow in the dark den.
Book NowExplore electricity by investigating static electricity, conductors, insulators and circuits
Book NowLearn about push and pull and how magnets are used in real life contexts
Book NowUse mechanical computers and 'marble-power' to solve logic puzzles
