The five year 13 students from respectively Hamilton, Pukekohe, Wellington, Onehunga, Hamilton and New Plymouth have been selected by the Royal Society of New Zealand.
An unprecedented festival of international science:

Israel will host in Jerusalem over 400 young science masterminds – the future generation of world scientists – from over 70 countries worldwide and 15 Nobel laureates, for the first World Science Conference – Israel (WSCI-2015).
