SMART Dome Programme, Wed. 16th to Fri. 18th July 2025, at the Centre, Raetihi.

Our guest facilitators returned to our region to share their expertise and insights, which was a great blessing for our kura, ECE, Kohanga Reo, and rangatahi. To have you come and listen to our guest speakers, Professor Pauline Harris, Matua Okkie, and Juliet Nelson, was truly well attended.

Sharing their Mātauranga Māori and scientific knowledge, including gyroscopic forces, the spinning chair (study of angular momentum), and the understanding of the movement of the sky. The SMART Dome was an experience for everyone to understand Matariki and Puanga, as well as astronomy, our universe, planets, and rocket launches.

Our tamariki and rangatahi engagement and inquisitive minds challenge us and our guest facilitators to recognise the value of promoting science and Mātauranga Māori. There are scientists, physicists, and star experts amongst our tamariki and community. We are thrilled to foster these potential opportunities to pursue their knowledge now to further their education.

A total of 20 groups and over 300+ tamariki and rangatahi come through the SMART Dome programme. The Puanga ki Ruapehu team is extremely grateful and appreciates everyone's support and time to attend this kaupapa. Especially our guest facilitators sharing their knowledge and inspiring our tamariki and rangatahi to become potential star experts and scientific geniuses.
