Where Talent Takes Hold & Thrives Programme 8th September 2016 | Massey University Te Ara Hihiko 12-B/C WHERE TALENT TAKES HOLD & THRIVES Proudly brought to you by EUREKA! PROGRAMME 1 Proud to be the Platinum Sponsor of EUREKA! At the forefrontof science www.sciencenewzealand.org Welcome It’s another stellar year for the EUREKA! Programme. Once again we have 16 outstanding students from schools and universities who will present their ideas on how we will use science and technology to make New Zealand “the most beautiful, stimulating and exciting place in the world in which to live”. Five years ago the Rotary Club of Wellington started this annual competition to identify and foster young leaders of our community. The Rotary EUREKA! Trust, chaired by Dr Russ Ballard, has taken that original idea and has developed it in directions no-one even considered but which now seem entirely central to the core of the idea. To make sure that students in every part of New Zealand have an equal chance to compete the Trust initiated an on-line workshop and resources with the fantastic help of the University of Otago Centre for Science Communication. The resources available on our website means no student will lack the background knowledge they need to participate. This year is also the first time the Trust has extended its activities into primary schools. Thirty-eight schools signed up to participate in the Junior EUREKA! Pilot Programme which asked Years 4 – 6 students to deliver a presentation to their class mates about a use of science or technology in their community. Discussions are underway on a number of other fronts to: • Develop a EUREKA! Science and Technology Video Awards programme for Year 7 – 13 students run in conjunction with the National Science and Technology Fairs EUREKA! PROGRAMME 1 • Develop Science and Technology Communication Achievement Standards within the NCEA Qualifications Framework • Develop a virtual regional competition • Establish the funding base for multiple internships and fellowships And then there’s the EUREKA! Alumni Group, set up in the last year as an independent Trust governed by Alumni themselves. In many ways this group is the jewel in the crown that is EUREKA!. At the end of today the EUREKA! Alumni Trust will boast 90 young people who have met the exacting standards required to become a finalist or a Scholarship recipient. They are the real legacy of the Sir Paul Callaghan EUREKA! Awards Programme. On behalf of the Rotary EUREKA! Trust and the Rotary Club of Wellington I welcome you to the 2016 Sir Paul Callaghan EUREKA! Awards Symposium. I am sure that you will find the presentations you hear today to be stimulating, exciting and inspirational. Mark Wheeler PRESIDENT, ROTARY CLUB OF WELLINGTON 2 EUREKA!

  • The Emergence of Science Communication in Aotearoa New Zealand
    HISTORY OF SCIENCE COMMUNICATION The emergence of science communication in Aotearoa New Zealand Jean Fleming and Jeremy Star Abstract The history of science communication in Aotearoa New Zealand starts with the stories told by the indigenous Maori¯ people and has often been rooted in large, controversial environmental or technological issues. Although science communication in New Zealand began with a culture of wise men informing an uneducated public, by the 1990s it had begun to explore ideas of public outreach and engagement. Driven in part by the country’s landscape and unique wildlife, media such as film documentary have risen to take centre stage in public engagement with science. Public radio also features in discussion of scientific issues. New centres for the training of science communicators have emerged and there is governmental and public support for science communication in New Zealand, as demonstrated by the number of awards and funding opportunities offered annually, for those who achieve. However a more critical and strategic approach to science communication in the future is needed if New Zealand wants a more science-literate public, and a more public-literate science community. Keywords History of public communication of science Introduction Aotearoa1 New Zealand is a relatively isolated country with a population of over 4.5 million people. Its geography has ensured a culture of exploration, discovery and communication. Science communication started as an oral tradition with the indigenous people and has developed through community movements on environmental issues, to institutional communication mechanisms and public outreach. However development of New Zealand’s science communication appears to parallel that of other “Western” countries, such as Australia, the United States or Great Britain, rather than arising from the Maori¯ culture itself.
