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 two-day 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 hands-on interactive fun and explanatory talks, she said.

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