Kiwibots
We’re helping spark a passion for STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) among tamariki through our partnership with Kiwibots.
Kiwibots work with schools and parents to make STEM fun using robots.
Our partnership with Kiwibots begun in 2022, and since then we have helped support five schools into the programme - Te Kura Waenga o Tirohanga Monrad, St Peter’s College Pasifika Robotics Group, Te Kura o Roslyn, Te Kura o Takaro, Highlands Intermediate, New Plymouth Girls High and Boys’ High.
The partnership entails providing competition kits for the schools, staff training and ongoing support, and registration for regional Kiwibots competitions. By participating in Kiwibots, children develop critical skills like creativity, teamwork, and logical thinking - encouraging them to pursue careers in STEM fields while fostering a passion for technology and innovation from an early age.
From the classroom to the world stage, Kiwibots kids are already achieving incredible success, consistently placing in the top 1% at global competitions. We’re proud to help open these doors of opportunity, and to support a programme that makes STEM accessible, inclusive, and seriously fun.
