Aerospace Discovery Day

Aerospace NZ's annual Summit brings together top scientists, engineers, and industry professionals at Te Pae Convention Centre during the 2026 school holidays, so Te Whai Ao - Dodd-Walls Centre's community engagement team are running a one-day workshop for space-curious kids right across the street!

Developed for curious minds from 9-13 years old AND their guardians, the day will feature hands-on activities and challenges, q&a time with industry professionals and researchers, a specially-arranged trip to the Summit's exhibition hall, and more, all to inspire and inform about the wide variety of opportunities to work in this ever-expanding field.... because this is one area where the sky is not the limit.
