  • Nanogirl's Great Science Adventures - crash landing here soon!
    Apr 30 2019

    Come on a great science adventure with Dr Michelle Dickinson - aka Nanogirl - as she travels around the country answering your burning science questions.

    Can we bring dinosaurs back to life? How high can birds fly? Is all bacteria bad?

    Find out the answer to these and heaps of other super interesting science questions with Nanogirl and her nanobot - the Constantly Learning Artificial Intelligence Repository - aka CLAIR.

    Each week, Nanogirl travels the country on her trusty - or is that rusty - Jetvolt. She'll take you along for the rollercoaster ride and hopefully answer a burning science question on the way.

    Listen out for a fun experiment every episode - which you'll be able to try at home.

    We'd love to hear how they go - so email your results and any fun science questions you might have to the team at scienceadventures@rnz.co.nz.
