Over two days, tamariki from 17 schools visited UC鈥檚 Ilam campus to participate in a range of activities that showcase the breadth of learning offered. Some highlights were experiencing an Antarctic temperature cold room, some neon colour-changing science experiments, and a Mechanical Engineering lab.
