The Waitangi Treaty Grounds is one
of only three locations nationwide to be selected by Te Papa Tongarewa
Museum of New Zealand to deliver the digital learning programme Raranga
Matihiko - Weaving Digital Futures.
The programme delivers innovative digital technologies to students with
limited access to new learning opportunities, while increasing access
to national and local exhibitions and collections. In the programme
students solve real-world problems while enriching their knowledge of
their communities and regions.
No two programmes will be identical, each class having one designed for
them, ensuring their needs are met, and providing support to each child
as they develop digital fluency skills in a cross-curricular approach.
That includes building students' understandings of computational thinking, digital citizenship and literacy.
