“Overall, I learnt an awful lot of information and a lot of different methods that I can use while I am back in New Zealand. This has given me a boost in thought about what I can do and need to learn about my own culture and has given me something to think about and has given me a big reality check”

“Today made me realise that there aren’t just engineers and astronauts (and other stereotypical) scientific jobs at NASA. There are graphic artists, designers, photographers, technicians, and financiers. This has shown me possible careers to aspire to. It has really made me want to know more about physics and engineering.”
