Our Mission

NIWA Wellington Regional Science & Technology Fair (NWRSTF) inspires young people to change the world through science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

NWRSTF provides opportunities for students to showcase their innovations and discoveries.

NWRSTF provides students with a larger stage at the regional level to present original research and celebrates the hard work and novel discoveries of young scientists who bring a fresh perspective to significant global challenges.

2023 Challenges

NWRSTF is introducing a series of STEAM Challenges for students to consider for the 2022 competition. The objective is to strengthen students’ capability to engage with science for a better future.
