The Ministry of Education and NZTech partnered up to host the Tech21 Summit, to inspire ākonga (learners) into technology careers. The one day Summit aimed to spark inspiration for year 7–10  ākonga while showcasing tech innovation and creativity, plus offering the opportunity to find out more about Technology Learning career pathways.

The Tech21 Summit had a number of young entrepreneurs and digital disruptors sharing their stories with more than a thousand 12 to 14 year olds to inspire them into a career in tech. Plus, a special live performance by Kings at Tech21!

SheSharp and Women in Tech (AUT) were at ‘The Imagine Zone,’ which is the space for ākonga (learners) to touch, feel, see and imagine their future in tech. We connected ākonga and tech sector – navigating through our digital future.
