Interactive fun for pupils at roadshow

Ava McSkimming (9), a year 5 pupil at Fairfield School, enjoys herself at a National Science-Technology Roadshow, hosted by Dunedin North Intermediate yesterday.

More than 400 pupils from 16 Dunedin schools attended the latest twoday roadshow, which ended yesterday.

DNI teacher in charge of science Greer Taylor said about 90 DNI pupils had had a ‘‘great’’ time. They had enjoyed the mix of handson interactive fun and explanatory talks, she said.

National roadshow manager Shane Kingston said overall the event had been a ‘‘fantastic’’ success.
