MacDiarmid Institute investigators run a hands-on programme for high school physics teachers. We take workshops to teachers throughout the country in collaboration with the New Zealand Institute of Physics (NZIP) and the Dodd-Walls CoRE. The programme, which has been running since 2015, meets a real need as more than half of New Zealand secondary school teachers have had little university-level physics training. We aim to give our science teachers the tools to inspire a life-long passion for physics in their students.
