Science is an exciting and motivating way for students to learn how to think critically and problem-solve.
Educators who understand science, who are confident and well prepared to teach can engage students with hands-on and interactive projects.
This enables learners to form skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school and in later life.
Our specialist facilitators can:
- Review science programmes and design a plan based on localised real-world problems
- Build educator confidence and capability and integrate science concepts across the curriculum (eg. understanding the maths principles behind science, how to wrap science around digital technologies, and other core elements)
- Integrate cultural competencies and apply a science lens to create cross-curricular links
- Create and embed an engaging, exciting and fun science programme which develops educators’ resource and knowledge, that is tailored to your school’s equipment

The ethics of the future – Data Science Pioneers
I recently attended the premiere screening of the documentary movie Data Science Pioneers in Christchurch. This was a great chance to learn and reflect on what I believe will become the ethics of the future. The movie dispels the myth that artificial intelligence and robots will rise against humanity and conquer the world. If you are interested in the future roles our students may have (or create for themselves), the convergence of humans and technology, machine learning, AI and of course, the ethical dilemmas all this presents, then this movie will be worth watching. There will also be a discussion panel with the team from Digital Future Aotearoa after the movie.
