What's it all about?

IGNITING THE SPARK OF TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR RANGATAHI

Maoriland Charitable Trust has created M.A.T.C.H to enable and mentor our rangatahi to be leaders in the creative tech industry.

Korakora Matihiko is a two-week expo running May 17 - June 1 with Indigenous games, animation, vr & 360 and comics including rangatahi workshops and public kōrero.

Korakora Matihiko opens M.A.T.C.H which will be open weekly for rangatahi to learn and play in focused workshops, one on one training, ‘hackathons’, creative challenges, and ‘free-play’ led by industry leaders and fellow rangatahi.

These activities will build leadership capacity by encouraging rangatahi to use creative thinking and problem solving to develop and build creative solutions to given challenges.

Rangatahi who participate in M.A.T.C.H will develop creative tech literacy, mental agility and adaptability and hard technical skills. They will also develop collaboration and leadership skills through group work and tuakana-teina mentoring. M.A.T.C.H will support rangatahi to achieve in Hangarau Matihiko.

M.A.T.C.H - Maoriland's tech creative hub will put new technology in the hands of our rangatahi activating the next generation of tech sector creatives. 

We want our rangatahi to be creators not consumers - to lead the way we creative technologies as Indigenous peoples to reconnect and exchange ancestral knowledge, story and language.
