Abstract

The article discusses the incorporation of futures thinking in science education programmes in New Zealand. The flexibility of exploring components of the futures thinking model allows for the selection of activities to engage and motivate students. A timeline obtained from the New Zealand Biotechnology Hub assisted the students in identifying key trends and drivers in the dairy industry.
