The Eureka! Trust seeks to grow the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge and develop the communication skills of young New Zealanders. To do this we have created a pathway that starts with Junior Eureka! in years four to six, continues with the Nonsuch Consulting Eureka! Video Awards in years five to thirteen and flows into the Sir Paul Callaghan Eureka! Awards in years eleven to undergraduate. After completing the programme contestants can become part of the Eureka! Alumni.
