What Is New Zealand Regional Science and Technology?
This is a directory-level umbrella for independently organized regional fairs across New Zealand, not a single national competition. Earth Sciences New Zealand / NIWA sponsors and promotes many regional committees, whose current calendar includes Auckland, South and East Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, Canterbury-Westland, Central South Island, North Harbour and other regions.
Regional fairs commonly serve New Zealand school years 7-13 and judge student investigations, technology innovations or related research displays. Exact eligibility, school caps, solo-versus-team rules, categories, ethics review, safety requirements, registration portals, fees and awards vary. Waikato and Wellington both published years 7-13 eligibility for 2026, while Canterbury-Westland allowed individual projects or teams of up to three.
