More than 200 secondary school students from throughout the North Island will have the opportunity next week to experience a day in the life of a science or engineering student at the University of Waikato.

The University’s Faculty of Science & Engineering is geared up to host the annual Science Open Day (Wednesday, July 8) and Engineering Open Day (Thursday, July 9).

Both events offer Year 11-13 students and adult learners the chance to spend the day on campus, attending hands-on workshops. Science Open Day will cover the subjects of physics, chemistry, computer sciences, Earth sciences and biological sciences. Engineering Open Day will cover the programmes of chemical and biological, mechanical, software, materials and process and electronic engineering.

A full programme for each event is available on request.
