Hīnātore sessions are cross-disciplinary, STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths) and support learners’ development across the 21st century core skills: creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.
“At Te Papa we believe in life-long learning so we transformed our previous learning space and our offer to enable exciting new ways into learning,” said Ms Young. “We designed Hīnātore, from concept through to our new learning programmes for learners of all ages with public good front and centre. Our goals are to enable greater access to Te Papa’s taonga, collections, and expertise.
“In the spirit of collaboration and creativity, we acknowledge Workshop e, Insight Creative, and Gwilym Devey for their contributions to bringing Hīnātore to life.”
Other nominees in the Public Good category include Cards For Kaikoura, VoteLocal.nz, and Motion Sickness, a collaboration between Blunt umbrellas, artist Dick Frizzell, and Oxfam.
Winners will be announced at a ceremony on 6 October.
