Realise the Dream

The National School Science & Technology Award

3-10 December 2011

The Genesis Energy Realise the Dream is a prestigious six-day national event managed by the Royal Society of New Zealand which celebrates, rewards, challenges and showcases the work of extraordinary school students from all over New Zealand who have carried out an excellence piece in research, or technological practice. The principal sponsor of this event is Genesis Energy and the support partners are the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO and DairyNZ.

Students can be nominated for Realise the Dream through several programmes including regional science and technology fairs and up to 20 students are selected to attend.

Realise the Dream starts off in Auckland and finishes in Wellington. Along the way students will visit the Leigh Marine Centre; Liggins Institute; DairyNZ; Genesis Energy; Massey University and UNESCO. The event finishes with an award ceremony in Wellington where there are some big travel and monetary award which will be presented.

Realise the Dream often acts as a gateway for students to be invited to international science and technology events.
