In partnership with Science Alive, access an introductory lesson with a science experiment connected to a Matariki activity to celebrate te tau hou Māori and bring your ākonga together.

Waimakariri Libraries are on a mission in collaboration with Science Alive to bring science to everyone, everywhere, everyday.

Science Alive is a charitable trust established in 1991, by local innovators who share a passion for science and technology. The vision was clear: to inspire the public through interactive experiences and accessible education.

Formerly celebrated as a beloved physical centre in the heart of Canterbury, they're now thrilled to extend the Science Alive experience to the digital realm, making it accessible to all.

Join us in our mission to make Science and Technology, accessible for all, with the following objectives:

Mission One: Opportunities for discovery

It all starts with a spark: Fostering the potential of every child to spark hope, excitement, and curiosity for future generations.

Mission Two: Science for everyone, everywhere, everyday

Promote and inspire people of all ages to explore the endless opportunities the world of science holds.

Mission Three: Engage in the potential of STEAM

Empowering tomorrow's innovators with the boundless potential of STEAM through interactive, educational experiences.

Book your class visit today to learn how to access these invaluable and exciting resources available free to teachers across the country.

Each one-hour visit includes an introductory lesson with a science experiment connected to a Matariki activity to celebrate te tau hou Māori and bring your ākonga together.

What a wonderful time of year to celebrate the Māori New Year and science together.
