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 September - October 2026 school holidays, we have THREE workshops, book now to avoid missing out. Tōnui Collab also co-hosts Pā Hangarau every school holidays. In October 2026, Pā Hangarau is partnering with Te Poho o Te Rāwheoro Marae in Tolaga Bay.
