TAHI! RUA! TORU! TECH!
NZ’S DIGITAL CHALLENGE!
-
Tahi Rua Toru Tech (123Tech) is a national program that helps schools and kura introduce the Digital Technologies/Hangarau Matihiko curriculum. It was initially co-funded by the Ministry of Education and industry but has been solely funded by the industry since 2022.
-
The brief is simple: Students work in teams to identify a problem they care about in their school or community and create a technology-based solution to solve it.
-
By participating in the 123Tech Challenge, students acquire hands-on experience with Digital Technologies and develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. It fosters creativity, collaboration, and innovation, which are essential for careers in the digital field - a path we aim to encourage students to pursue!
