Please contact us at macdiarmidnano-discoverycamp@vuw.ac.nz with any questions or if you would like to register your interest in applying for future NanoCamps. 

NanoCamp was an amazing experience that I will remember for a long time. I learned a lot of things both scientific and university-related, made new friends, and had a fantastic few days.

A group of New Zealand's brightest high school science pupils from across the country spent a week in Wellington getting an introduction to nanoscience and advanced materials during NanoCamp. The 2019 cohort made a video showing their hands-on experience in spintronics, microscopy, nanoelectronics, chemistry, and optics.
