NEXUS projects did very well in our last year!

At previous Science Fairs NRG students have won the Best in Fair and Runner up prizes as well as winning First Prize in their section. In 2003 we kept up the tradition of innovation and excellence with some fun and mysterious projects.

Congratulations to the Inglewood High team for winning so many prizes in our last year...

Year 12 Physics and Year 13 Physics classes working on Nexus projects dominated the Senior Technology section.
Congratulations to Year 12 Physics student Andrew Downes for winning one of the WITT Scholarships worth $3500.
Year 11 Science students Sonia Dunn and Tessa Munro won a $1000 Tertiary Study Scholarship.

The Laser Wars! project proved very popular in the Junior Technology section and with the local press.

The Fonterra Taranaki Science & Technology Fair was held from the 11 – 13 August 2003. The youngest participant at the Fair was only seven (7) years old! Mikaela won a Merit Prize for her Bike Indicator, not bad when the other students in her section were at least 4 years older than her!

2nd PRIZE AT THE 2003 SCIENCE FAIR!

The Laser Wars! Junior Technology project of Nick Wells from Inglewood High School caught the attention of the Daily News reporter visiting the Science Fair...

The project is based on a combat game played in broad daylight instead of in the dark The Pulse Rifle could shoot the Terminator from way up on the second floor!
