Your connection to a rich source of data
The NZSA and Statistics New Zealand co-sponsor statistics prizes at Science Fairs throughout New Zealand. Currently this is coordinated by Tim Hawkes.
Local Statisticians There are many members of the NZSA who are practising statisticians and would be willing to meet with teachers and discuss real data and what to do with it. Contacts are given below.
Links Here are some web sites that have interesting data sets or provide useful resources.
The NZSA has provided funding through the Campbell Bequest Fund to support the NZAMT Conference since 2003. Over this period a senior practising statistician from within New Zealand has participated in the conference.
DVD: "Statistics in Research: A Visual Teaching Resource" The DVD: "Statistics in Research: A Visual Teaching Resource", created by John Harraway (University of Otago) and filmed at and subsequent to the NZSA 2005 Conference in Dunedin, is now available through the CASM Unit, University of Otago. It contains nine case studies, and has an accompanying data CD. It is intended for Year 13 school students and first year university students. See the linked pdf file for full details. A second DVD is in preparation.
