The sky is the limit for a Tauranga student selected to take part in a London International Youth Science Forum in Geneva this year.
Nicholas Adams, 17, joins five other students from throughout New Zealand to take part in the July event. The students were selected by the Royal Society of New Zealand from more than 300 applications.
"I think it is a great opportunity and it's something to show for all the hard work," he said.
Nicholas has just completed his first week at Tauranga Boys' College after moving from Bethlehem College and was keen to thank teachers Steve Te Whaiti and Helen McMullen who helped him in his studies. "When I found out, I immediately wanted to thank my teachers for their efforts and all the time they had given to me," he said.
Nicholas would join more than 300 students from more than 60 countries who would attend lectures given by eminent scientists and visit many scientific organisations in London. The students would visit two of England's oldest universities, Oxford and Cambridge, and get to see some of the science research taking place.
