Last week our Consultant, Samuel Kenning, had the incredible opportunity to visit GNS Science 🌍 in Wellington with a bright Year 11 student from St. Bernard's College Lower Hutt for a work experience day. Here’s what he had to say about it: ❝What stood out the most was the seamless integration of IT in various applications at GNS. From data analysis and modelling, to ensuring the safety and preparedness of our communities, the role of technology is pivotal. 💻 A huge thank you to GNS Science for opening their doors and sharing their knowledge. Experiences like these not only ignite curiosity, but also highlight the diverse career paths in Science and Technology. Let's continue to nurture and inspire the next generation of innovators!❞ 🙌
