The aim of this Ministry of Research, Science and Technology funded project, was to develop and trial a “biofutures toolkit” which can be used to support the teaching of concepts related to futures thinking in primary, intermediate, and secondary schools.
The research team included University of Waikato’s Wilf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research, Christchurch College of Education, and The New Zealand Council for Education Research.
There was also an international advisory panel.
The toolkit is currently being developed on the New Zealand Biotechnology Learning Hub (www.biotechlearn.org.nz).
