Hosted by the MacDiarmid Institute, NanoCamp is a four-day residential lab experience with top scientists, completing hands-on investigations into a range of topics including electron microscopy, laser physics and nano-electronics. We're looking for current year 12 or 13 students with a strong academic background who are planning to continue with science.
Applications for NanoCamp 2023 are now closed.
We will be in touch with all applicants for 2023 by the end of October to let them know the outcomes to their applications.
If you have any questions about NanoCamp or would like to register interest for 2024, please contact us at macdiarmidnano-discoverycamp@vuw.ac.nz.
If you are reading this as someone who is not sure if NanoCamp is something for you, or you are not sure if you are wanting to apply, all I can say is do it! The people I have met and the connections I have made will help me for the next many years as I go into university studies, and into the world. Thank you MacDiarmid Institute for it all!
Attendee Auckland NanoCamp, 2022
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.
