Tekiteora Rolleston-Gabel was chosen by Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga to attend the 8th Asian Science Camp in Singapore this year.
Currently a student at Ngā Taiātea Wharekura, Hamilton's only Māori-language immersion secondary school, Tekiteora is in her final year at school studying biology and chemistry.
She hopes to study towards either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Health Sciences at university next year, but first comes Singapore - where from the 24th to the 29th August she is mingling with some of the planets top scientific minds ... and Nobel Laureates ... as well as fellow students from around the world!
