What We Mean by "Technology Education"
Technology learning in community spaces. Our trained kaiako and industry volunteers create sessions tailored to each group's interests and curiosity.
Learning Through Doing
Every session is hands-on and project-based. Rangatahi don't just learn about technology - they create with it, building games, apps, robots, and digital art that they're passionate about.
Whether it's their first time coding or they're already building complex projects, our mentors meet each rangatahi where they are and help them explore what excites them most.
Collaborative Creation
Rangatahi working together on projects that combine creativity, problem-solving, and technology skills.
