Weekly Groups Term 1 2026
In 2026 Term 1 we have five groups running. Other groups might spawn during the term.
All groups are starting in Feb after Waitangi Weekend.
Starting in 2026 you need a membership number before adding yourself to a waiting list. If you signed up previously, could you do it again in our new system (sorry!).

Tuesday: Science Lab
This group is for those into science in all its fun and weird dimensions.
In Term 1 we will be looking at the science, engineering and design behind everyday things. The science lab is a terrible, horrible group because… well… it is the Questionable Research Labs! As usual we have a plan,but we will meander into other topics - nothing is ruled out.
There is science in everything.Tuesday 3:15 to 5:30 (it is ok to arrive up to 4pm) - Ages 9-15

Wednesday: Projects Lab
This term, Wednesday 3:15 to 5(ish) is the lab is open for anyone to use if you are doing a thing. Your thing. Ages 13+:
