Shalini Guleria
FOUNDER, CEO PhD candidate at Olivia Newton John Cancer Research Institute. I have a passion towards science and engineering which lead to the birth of Science Box. The Science Box program was developed to bring back the magic of science to young kiwis by teaching them first principle science concepts by using only household items. |

Jack Keeys Head of operations, director One of the main facilitators of ScienceBox, I studied business and science at Waikato University. I am passionate about the food industry and work as a business development manager for a technology company. I have traveled around the world working with farmers, consultants and industry to help improve global agriculture. Being part of Science Box has been a highlight for me this year! Joseph Morcom DESIGNER Recently completed a Bachelor of Design degree majoring in interface design. After having met Shalini (founder) through the Waikato chapter for the Golden Key International Honour Society, I opted to come on board the Science Box team hoping to use my skills in design to help promote Science Box to the world. Emma Walker WORKSHOP FACILITATOR Currently in my final year of a Master of Science (Research) in Molecular & Cellular Biology, where I am studying the use of a novel antioxidant enzyme to improve the efficiency of animal reproductive technologies. Discovering new knowledge that cannot be seen with the naked eye is the reason I love science! |
Nalin Guleria EVENTS COORDINATOR Studying Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Mechatronics, with a passion towards events management.
