NIWA Canterbury-Westland Schools' Science and Technology Fair

Welcome to the NIWA Canterbury-Westland Schools Science and Technology Fair website. The Fair is proudly sponsored by NIWA, in association with the University of Canterbury, the Canterbury Science Teachers’ Association, Kiwanis, the Science Award Trust, and Environment Canterbury.

Regularly attracting approximately to 200 entries from intermediate and secondary school students throughout the Canterbury and Westland regions, the Fair has been held in Christchurch for over 30 years. Throughout this time it has grown considerably in size and reputation to become one of the premier Science and Technology events in New Zealand.

The fair is organised by an independent committee consisting of:

• Members of Christchurch Kiwanis Clubs.
• Secondary school teachers, including members of the Canterbury Science Teachers’ Association
• Representatives from University of Canterbury,  Environment Canterbury, and other interested people.

We are very proud to be supported by a wide and ever increasing range of sponsors. We are also fortunate to be able to draw on the experience of many well qualified judges from research organisations, industry and the education sector who willingly give up their time to encourage the exhibitors to follow their interest in science and technology. Please contact us if you would like to be involved in judging, or sponsor a prize.

Information about the 2024 Fair can be found here.
