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.
