Auckland Science and<br />
Engineering Challenge<br />
This term, we sent a<br />
group of Year 9 and 10<br />
Māori students to the<br />
Science and Engineering<br />
Challenge at the Franklin<br />
Pool and Leisure Centre in<br />
Pukekohe.<br />
Social Science<br />
The challenge is presented by The<br />
Univeristy of Newcastle and in<br />
partnership by the Āmua Ao & The<br />
Pūhoro STEM (Science, Technology,<br />
Engineering and Maths) Academy.<br />
It was a fun and action-packed day<br />
for the students, and the ultimate<br />
aim of the day was to give the<br />
students a positive experience of<br />
science and engineering.<br />
Our students came 4th out of 8<br />
schools.<br />
