We sponsor regional science and technology fairs around New Zealand and support learning programmes that bring science into the classroom.
NIWA Interactive Room at Kelly Tarlton's
The NIWA Interactive Room at Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium in Auckland was opened to the public in 2005. The room provides interactive activities for children aged 5 to 10 years on marine biodiversity and ecosystems, focusing on both the ocean and Antarctic environments. Over 60,000 children visit the room each year, most as part of organised school trips.

NIWA is the major sponsor for regional science and technology fairs in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Nelson.
