Projects

Highlighting perspectives of the taiao and science to encourage rangatahi interest and involvement in science and technology at school to stimulate thinking about their contribution as leaders/kaitiaki and to promote science career paths.

Ngataki students are the future of Ngati Kuri. Understanding their role as kaitiaki at an early age fosters connection to their environment and their wider whanau/iwi responsibilities.

Students are investigating marine ecosystems and taonga species by engaging in hands-on, in-water surveys that combine localised mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), science and snorkelling.

This project is reconnecting the taonga shellfish toheroa back with the people through outreach education in local schools and within the wider community of Ripiro Beach.

Extreme Science II builds on the success of the Chatham Islands science engagement expedition, to return and extend science outreach to Stewart Island, Bay of Islands and Aotearoa's remotest rural schools and communities.

Students in Northland and South Auckland are learning about the air they breathe inside their classrooms and their home, and how to improve it.

This project aims to teach youth necessary digital skills for their future while fostering 'soft skills' of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication (the 4 Cs), all skills that automation cannot replace.

Inspiring Māori and Pacific students to pursue STEM subjects through creating activities that put Mātauranga Māori and Pacific culture at the centre of their learning experience.

Adapting and using the Stream Ecological Valuation tool to involve Papa Taiao Earthcare students in waterways restoration projects in Raglan and Porirua.

This project will include three week-long GeoCamps at three remote marae across the far north of Tai Tokerau with the aim of showing tamariki and their whānau that science is something they can understand, enjoy, and participate in.
