Chris Duggan is the founder and CEO of House of Science, based at the charity’s head office in Tauranga. Her background is in Science and teaching, gaining a BSc from Massey University in Biochemistry and teaching secondary chemistry, biology and science for 15 years. Fuelled by an Education Review Office report in 2013, which said 73% of NZ primary schools were not teaching science, she left her secondary middle management role to set up House of Science and now oversees a team of 45 staff and 100+ volunteers.
