For eight years Nanogirl Labs brought science to young people - through live shows, education programmes and STEM kits.
But a tough business environment has seen it placed in liquidation, with the first liquidator's report due out today.
Nanogirl Labs was founded by Dr Michelle Dickinson and her husband Joe Davis.
It aimed to demystify science and inspire creativity through workshops and theatre shows, both in New Zealand and overseas.
Winding up the company is another blow for the science community - which has seen hundreds of jobs cut and the demise of funding projects like the National Science Challenges.
Nanogirl Michelle Dickinson joins Kathryn to explain the decision.
