Every school holidays we invite 7-13 year olds to create, construct, test and prototype. Our workshops encourage children to explore the diversity of STEMM - science, technology, engineering, mathematics and mātauranga Māori through the experimentation and creation of animation, engineering, game development, robotics, coding, virtual reality and more!
Our mission is to support taitamariki to build confidence through inquiry, investigation and experimentation. We help young people to learn how to take advantage of the capabilities of technology,
becoming creators – not just passive consumers.
During the December 2025 and January 2026 school holidays, we have
a number of workshops to support tamariki to explore the diversity of STEMM through collaborative problem solving and creative storytelling.
