COMMUNITY
As a charitable trust, all of our work relies on the support of sponsors, regional partners, and volunteers nationwide that provide time, energy, funds and skills to bring Kiwibots events to young New Zealanders.
We are so grateful to our sponsors whose support make our projects are reality for so many young New Zealanders.
These companies share our mission of providing opportunities to grow tech-literacy and broaden the skillsets of the next generations - future-proofing Kiwi kids and New Zealand as a whole.
If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, donating or seeing how else you can help, please send an email to our National Manager, Michelle Mollard, at michellem@kiwibots.co.nz to see how you can get involved.
Every little bit counts and makes a world of difference to our work. Funds contribute to our major events, support for local events, products and materials for teams from the far north to the deep south, ensuring that science and tech can remain accessible for everybody.
OUR PARTNER ORGANISATIONS
We work with the following organisations to further our outreach of STEM engagement. From Teacher PLD to Makerspaces, we work with a number of groups who all share the same mission (and have plenty of fun while at it!)
Central Region Robotics Trust works with Kiwibots to produce the VEX IQ Challenge National Championships, as well as grow robotics education and engagement across the Central North Island.
House of Science are an extra-curricular organisation that aim to raise scientific literacy across all NZ.
We work closely with them (particularly in Tauranga and the BOP) to bring robotics to students.
We work with Accelerating Aotearoa to encourage engagement in STEM in South Auckland, primarily Ōtara, through immersive tech camps and other activities.
RoboPā is a makerspace that provides opportunity for Māori youth to access technology and STEM equipment, particularly in rural regions of New Zealand.
