Real science for NZ's brightest budding biologists

KAREN inspires NZ's young, talented scientists by connecting teachers and students with world-leading medical researchers through the LENScience programme.

The LENScience Senior Biology Seminar Series connects world-leading scientists with Year 13 biology students throughout New Zealand for regular curriculum-linked seminars. The interactive e-learning experience is broadcast via video conferencing and multicast on KAREN to the National Education Network (NEN), and over satellite television. "We're facing a global shortage of science graduates just when we need them most, KAREN is helping us to turn the problem around," says Jacquie Bay, Director LENScience.
