Guest Speakers are invited for their expertise in a wide range of academic, medical, cultural, commercial or social subjects. Free parking.

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 19 February 2025.

Our speaker will be Catherine Cooper

Catherine outlines her talk: I am the General Manager of the Central Waikato branch of the House of Science charity. We are an independent charity and run separately to the National office. I was born in England and lived in Ireland until I moved to New Zealand in 2001. My background is in Science with a Masters in Geology. I was a University of Auckland research assistant and then an Engineering Geologist prior to having my daughter. I helped set up the Central Waikato charity in 2018 in my garage after being a volunteer for the Hutt Valley branch and connected with the vision and Purpose of the charity.
My talk will focus on what the House of Science is about, the Central Waikato branches growth and how we are making a positive impact on the teachers and students of central Waikato. We will also have a chance to look at some of the science resource kits.

 

Interest Groups

Apart from the monthly general meeting, a number of interest groups meet regularly for discussion and learning on a chosen topic. Convenors organise meetings which may be in a participant’s home or in a public room. They may be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and are usually held during the day.

Members often attend more than one interest group, and are encouraged to suggest or start a new group, after discussion with the committee.
