TŌNUI Collab empowers young people through innovative STEAM* workshops - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. Our workshops are available during the school term, after school, and in the school holidays. Workshop topics include animation, engineering, 3D design, robotics, coding, augmented reality and more!
Our core philosophy celebrates learning through exploration, learning through fast fails, and empowering tamariki to lead their own educational journeys. We encourage inquiry, investigation and experimentation through hands-on creative exploration. We strive to build confidence through new ways of learning and collaborating.
TŌNUI Collab collaborates with teachers to support the impactful adoption of digital technologies. Through professional learning and development partnerships, teachers are supported in developing the confidence to introduce emerging technologies into contemporary learning environments.
