Wonder Project
Curious minds. Big futures. How creativity and science collide in the classroom.
As a student, the Wonder Project helps you explore big ideas through real-world challenges – like launching rockets and designing wind turbines. With guidance from engineers and tech mentors, you’ll learn by doing, not just reading. Backed by Engineering New Zealand and Te Mātāpuna Fonterra, the programme connects your curiosity with exciting possibilities in science, tech and engineering. It’s a playful but powerful way to build confidence, grow your creativity, and imagine tomorrow, your way.
STEM in action
Real-world challenges with real role models
You’ll take on practical projects like the Ice-Cream Challenge or launching water rockets, with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) mentors supporting you along the way. These aren’t just classroom experiments; they’re real-world challenges that help you connect what you learn with what’s possible. Seeing a role model who works in the field makes a big difference. It’s about more than learning how things work; it’s about discovering what you could do next.
