The first half of this year will focus on the delivery of the ''Dunedin, Otago and wider South Island outreach projects''. Planned outreach activities included Extreme Science II, and Science Show-offs. This planning arrangement would make the most of shared transportation costs, museum director Dr Ian Griffin said in a recent museum report. The museum team plans to take the Lab in a Box to Auckland, in partnership with Te Kura o te Kauri: The School of the Kauri, with Victoria University of Wellington, to tackle the kauri dieback issue over October, the report said.
