Kiwibots exist to provide opportunities that grow the capability of New Zealand's future innovators and creative thinkers. We future-proof Kiwi kids - find out more about how we do it in NZ Education, STEM Education resources and robotics. The Kiwibots Story In 2008, a team of enthusiastic Kiwi educators, business reps and students could see that science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) was soon to be the forefront of education. This group scoped out what was happening in the world, travelled to see the VEX programme in action, and saw the potential of sharing it with Aotearoa – inspiring young Kiwis one robot at a time. The NZ Robotics Charitable Trust was founded in 2009 with the support of businesses that could see the future growth of the tech industry and the imminent global need for more innovators, problem solvers, and creative thinkers. NZ teams competed in their first season of VEX Robotics in the 2009-2010 season. In true Kiwi fashion, the students showed innovation and a 'No. 8 wire' approach to problem solving that resulted in a World Championship title, knocking reigning champions out of the top spot! Since then, Kiwibots has grown, creating and supporting teams from intermediate through university to world calibre levels that put NZ on the map in the robotics and tech industry. Kiwibots teams have won World Championship titles 15 times against 70+ competing countries. They have also won awards such as the Excellence Award, Sportsmanship Award, Judge's Award, and many more. As a charitable organisation, our shared successes would not be possible without the support of our generous funders over the years. Thanks to them, whānau, kaiako and volunteers, the future of robotics excellence and STEAM advancement will be filled with innovative Kiwis. See all awards About: Who we are The Kiwibots Difference Unlike other software and coding based education, we encourage students to create physical results using robotics. The gamification of learning tasks creates a more engaging experience, while also fostering collaboration , communication , and creativity .

Kiwibots Child Protection Policy Here at Kiwibots, we pride ourselves on being able to put on world-class robotics events and programmes for young Kiwi kids. As a Charitable Trust, our success is largely due to the incredible support of volunteers who come on board to make every scrimmage, tournament, holiday programme, event and workshop as amazing as it is. We want to enable volunteers from all over NZ to be able to help out while ensuring that we provide a safe environment that prioritises the wellbeing of children, young people, vulnerable adults and their families. Purpose Our Child Protection Policy is a framework that covers the expectations and procedures to respond to potential child protection concerns. This Policy applies to all staff including volunteers, and part-time or temporary roles. It is intended to protect all children that staff may encounter, including siblings, the children of adults participating, and any other children encountered by staff and volunteers when providing our service at an event or programme. This Policy will be reviewed annually and updated as required with changes in legislation and relevant policies. Scope This policy covers all staff and volunteers of Kiwibots – The NZ Robotics Charitable Trust who have direct or indirect contact with children at Kiwibots events and programmes. This includes those staff, paid or voluntary, employed directly by Kiwibots, as well as those professionals contracted or invited to provide services to children at or during any Kiwibots event or programme. This policy covers the Trustees and their responsibilities in the safety and wellbeing of children. Responsibilities & Expectations We expect our staff and volunteers to be attentive to all persons at any Kiwibots event or programme, and to report any concerns, suspicions or allegations of inappropriate behaviour or suspected abuse immediately so that the concern can be reported and acted on appropriately. Vetting Requirements We are committed to ensuring that children and young people accessing our services and events are safe. Any individual who may deal directly or indirectly with children and young people and wishes to participate in an employment, mentoring, coaching, event support or other paid or voluntary role with Kiwibots must comply to a safety check by Kiwibots. Independent teams participating in our robotics competitions who are not part of a NZ registered organisation (e.g. an independent family team or home school group team) should have their own Child Protection Policies and safety checks in place. Where a team does not have such policies or considerations, they can request for a NZ Police Vetting to be performed through Kiwibots and receive a copy of their report. For Our Volunteers The safety check may include NZ Police Vetting, Risk and Safety Assessment (if volunteer is classed as Children’s Worker under the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014), or verification of references provided if required. At a minimum, we will require our volunteers to consent to a NZ Police Vetting, where the results are kept in confidence and shared only with the volunteer. Vetting results are valid for 3 years from date of receipt and approval. Cases where our volunteers will not need to undergo a NZ Police Vetting include: Volunteer is a current registered NZ teacher Volunteer is a current volunteer, employee or member of NZ organisation that has a NZ Police Vetting in place (e.g. OSCAR provider) and can be verified Volunteer is under 16yrs old Volunteer is a current AND enrolled secondary student attending a listed NZ school Volunteer can provide a copy of their current NZ Police Vetting result to Kiwibots For Our Staff The safety check may include NZ Police Vetting, Risk and Safety Assessment (if volunteer is classed as Children’s Worker under the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014), Drug and Alcohol Testing, verification of references provided if required, verification of qualifications, personal reference checks, verification of identification, and a structured interview process. At a minimum, we will require our candidates applying for employment to consent to a NZ Police Vetting, structured interview, personal reference checks and verification of identification. Vetting results are valid for 3 years from date of receipt and approval. Kiwibots will follow a robust decision-making process in responding to positive results from vetting and safety checking. We must be satisfied that any appointment would pose no undue risk to the safety of children and young people in its programmes or events. All safety checks, assessments and decisions to employ will be signed off by the National Manager. Where these checks flag that there would be a heightened level of risk should a person be employed (in a paid or voluntary role), the National Manager will consult with the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees before a decision is made. We will not employ any staff member or take on any volunteer who has a conviction identified as a specified offence within Schedule 2 of the Vulnerable Children's Act 2014. Procedures Any concerns of potential, suspected, or alleged abuse or inappropriate behaviour must be brought to the attention of the National Manager of Kiwibots. If the National Manager is not available, this should be brought to the attention of the Trustees. The concern will be reported and a decision will be made to seek further advice, or where appropriate, notify Oranga Tamariki. The decisions taken will be recorded and kept securely by Kiwibots, accessible only to current Trustees and the National Manager, identifying the concern/incident and reasons behind decision made. In line with the Principles of the Privacy Act 1993, information will be disclosed as necessary. Family and whanau will be informed of any information that is shared and to which agency in this process. Sharing information with family and whanau to better protect children is not a breach in confidentiality. Where a minor or young person makes a disclosure to staff member or volunteer, it is important that they take what the child has said seriously. The staff member or volunteer must not attempt to conduct an investigation or deal with the concern alone and must proceed with the response outlined below. Responding to Incident or Suspected Abuse Incident is occurring/ suspected abuse happens or is disclosed. Ensure that the child/young person is safe from immediate harm and removed from any dangerous situation. Carefully document in writing anything said by the child or person sharing the information about the abuse/incident. Include the date, time, and persons present at the incident. If the person sharing this information is the person documenting an observation (e.g. a volunteer suspects inappropriate behaviour between a spectator and a child), they should make sure they document any verbal, physical and behavioural observations. Immediately contact the person in charge of the event (a Kiwibots Regional Coordinator) and the National Manager, or an alternative Kiwibots Regional Coordinator if the allegation concerns the person in charge of the event. The Chairman of the Board of NZ Robotics Charitable Trust will be advised. Trustees of the Board, the National Manager, and the Regional Coordinator in charge of the event where the incident took place will discuss to review and make a decision. Where required, either the Regional Coordinator or the National Manager will submit a notification to Oranga Tamariki and/or the NZ Police. Allegations Made Against Members of Staff Allegations, suspicions or complaints of abuse against staff, volunteers or representatives of other agencies must be taken seriously and reported to the National Manager who will deal with them immediately, sensitively and expediently within the procedures outlined. It is NOT the responsibility of staff or volunteers to investigate allegations of child abuse. Contact Details for National Manager – Michelle Hazeleger-Mollard: +64 21 298 9492 or michellem@kiwibots.co.nz Safe Working Practices A relationship between an adult and a child or young person cannot be a relationship between equals. There is a potential for exploitation and harm of vulnerable young people. Adults have a responsibility to ensure that an unequal balance of power is not used for personal advantage or gratification. All staff and volunteers are expected to behave in manners that maintain appropriate professional boundaries and avoid behaviour that might be misinterpreted by others. Below are outlines that can help create a safe environment for all. Being Alone With Children and Young People To minimise risks of being isolated or alone with children and young people, staff and volunteers should examine situations where this may occur. Wherever possible, an open door policy for all spaces should be used (excludes toilets). Staff and volunteers should be aware of compromising situations and ensure that strategies are in place to help them deal safely with these situations (for example, calling up another staff member and putting them on loudspeaker or facetiming a friend or family member to minimise isolation if a situation is unavoidable). We will generally design the events so that there are minimal situations where isolation would take place, as two adults will need to be present to run something (e.g. Judge Interviews at National Championships) or things are all in a group setting in a communal hall. Staff and volunteers should avoid being alone when transporting a child or young person, unless emergency requires it. The exception to this is groups travelling with express consent from the child’s parents or guardian for a designated adult, e.g. a team coach who is volunteering at the event and is responsible for transport of a whole team and parents are all aware and consenting of this. Appropriate Language to Use in Front of Children and Young People All language used must be to provide positive guidance to children and young people. We actively promote appropriate behaviour using praise and encouragement and create a safe environment. We do not use blaming, harsh, belittling or degrading language. We strongly discourage language that assumes stereotypes (e.g. you run like a girl), or is ableist, racist, sexist or discriminatory. Relationships and Communications with Children and Young People With the exception of relationships that already exist between a child/young person and their family, we strongly discourage our volunteers from forming external friendships between adult and child (classed as 12yrs and under). It may be appropriate to have a relationship with the child’s parent or guardian, and by extension be involved in other events that may involve the child. For young persons (aged 12 and above), we recognise that they may want to begin networking, particularly amongst the tech community. It is appropriate for a volunteer to introduce this young person to relevant events of interest to them that are age appropriate, though we advise it is best to inform the young person’s parent or legal guardian of the intentions of this meeting and that it is cleared. Photography and Videos As part of the Kiwibots Event Participation Forms and VEX & RECF Waivers, all participants at our events have signed a photography waiver and we can use their likeness in any and all future promotion of our service. The exception to this rule is when a participant has actively informed us that they are not to be seen in public or photographed by our crew. In these cases, we make a special effort to have them easily identified (different colour band or lanyard) and we inform any key photographers at the event that the child is not to be photographed or videoed. Physical Contact Parents and guardians should be advised if there is any requirement for one to one physical contact to take place. The nature of our events should not require this. Physical contact should be limited to momentary contacts, such as high-fives, fist bumps, handshaking etc.. Where a child or young person is being comforted, we advise that contact is limited to the arm and shoulder. It is generally not appropriate for hugging to take place between a child/young person and a volunteer or staff member where there is no existing relationship – i.e. this does not apply to family members or close friends and family friends. Where a child or young person requires assistance, e.g., if they are intellectually or physically disabled, if possible involve the parents/caregivers and outside agencies to assist. If this assistance is not available, ensure that the staff and volunteers are aware of the appropriate procedures when giving assistance, including medical aid. Unauthorised People Accessing Children As many of our events are public, spectators may join after signing into the event. Staff and volunteers should be aware and attentive of these spectators, visitors, and supporting members. If there is an incident or suspected inappropriate behaviour by a spectator, please observe closely, notify the Regional Coordinator in charge of the event to help you monitor, and proceed with the response outlined in this policy if the suspected behaviour is inappropriate, e.g. a spectator with no team affiliation is attending to watch and has tried to create a circumstance they will be alone with a child or young person from a team. As all of our attendees (including spectators) are expected to sign in their attendance at an event, it is appropriate to ask for their name to document if there is suspected inappropriate behaviour. Contact Details Current National Manager, Michelle Hazeleger-Mollard, can be contacted on michellem@kiwibots.co.nz or in more urgent scenarios, called at +64 21 298 9492 (this number is also attended after hours). Regional Coordinators can be identified at the event in Kiwibots’ branded attire and should be clearly identifiable to attendees. As per procedures above, for any incidents happening in real time, first point of contact should be the Regional Coordinator on site who will contact the National Manager. In an emergency, the NZ Police should be called on 111. If the incident concerns a member of staff, please contact the National Manager. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Mike Hearn, can be reached where necessary at mike@amcham.co.nz .

The Board of the New Zealand Robotics Charitable Trust, (Kiwibots), is delighted to advise of the appointment of Michelle Hazeleger-Mollard as our new National Operations Manager, 10th December 2021. Michelle is an educator with a Masters in Educational Leadership, based in Palmerston North. She joins us after her role as a teacher and International Student Academic Manager at St. Peter’s College since 2014. Michelle may be a familiar face to some, having been involved with Kiwibots programmes as a parent and event volunteer for 7+ years. She has also worked all over the world, including Thailand and Japan, as well as time spent living in India working as Deputy Principal at an international school, in Delhi. The Board is extremely excited to be welcoming Michelle into this role as Kiwibots continues to grow. With Nationals fast approaching and previous National Manager, Janet Van Jenkins, now based overseas and supporting from afar, we will do our best to keep things running smoothly for the community in this handover. We would like to thank our incredible Regional Coordinators, volunteers, schools and students for their commitment and support through this period of change. We will be arranging for Michelle to meet with the volunteers, communities and schools throughout the country at the earliest opportunity. We would also like to thank Fisher & Paykel Healthcare for their support with the recruitment process these last months. We look forward to working with you to continue expanding Kiwibots programme across Aotearoa to future-proof Kiwi kids. Mike Hearn Chair New Zealand Robotics Charitable Trust (Kiwibots)

Over the last year and a half, we have had the privilege of running in person and online events for the community as we change between Alert Levels on this pandemic rollercoaster. A huge thanks to all of our community for being so understanding and adapting to the systems we've been putting in place to help prioritise everyone's safety. The new habit of RSVPing and checking in on arrival has helped immensely in the last few lockdowns, allowing us to work directly with MOH to quickly contact trace and communicate with attendees. With the restrictions changing for the current Delta variant, we've updated our protocols to reflect the extra measures we will be implementing to ensure event safety for the Kiwibots community. Please read the information below carefully. Capacity and Registration With indoor events being limited to 50 participants and spectators, RSVP-ing individual attendance via www.kiwibots.co.nz/upcoming-events prior to the event will be mandatory. Entry may be denied to unregistered individuals who walk-in on the day. A volunteer will be at the venue entry point to assist with this checking in too. Many regions may now also host multiple events on a single day by splitting IQ and VRC - so please check our events page carefully so that you register for the correct scrimmage. Read the event details - some events may limit how many teams from an organisation, or how many ākonga/students per team, may attend. If you incorrectly register for an event, please let us know at contact@kiwibots.co.nz or email your Regional Coordinator so we can remove you from the incorrect event and free up a space. Checking in on our system is compulsory and additional to the government issued QR COVID-19 scanning system. This is because we recognise many students may not have their own personal devices and are legally required to keep our own records. Venues Once again, please make sure you read the information on the Kiwibots Events page carefully, as regions may host multiple scrimmages at different venues, different rooms within a venue (e.g. Gym and the Hall), or at different times. As many venues do not allow for events at Level 2, please be prepared that venues may change to those that can host events and visitors at Level 2. If you have already registered to an event and the venue changes, our team will endeavour to let you know with plenty of warning. Venues will have a single entry point to help manage sign-ins and ensure we stay within capacity limits. Event Hygiene and Safety Things are going to look a bit different at Delta 2. Some things stay the same though - do not attend an event if you are showing any cold or flu-like symptoms, get tested and let us know you will not be attending so we can remove you from the RSVP list. Remember to regularly wash your hands, avoid touching your face and sneeze or cough into your elbow. Volunteers Kiwibots event volunteers (Regional Coordinators and any additional volunteers critical to event support, referees, Tournament Manager tech, etc.) will be wearing Kiwibots teal shirts and face masks for all events at Delta 2. Volunteers for events will be staying in a volunteer capacity for the event, and should not be a general supporter that between matches offers to help reset the field and 'change roles'. This is due to event volunteers not coming within the 50 person capacity. If you would like to offer to volunteer for an event, please contact your Regional Coordinator prior to the event. Mask Wearing Mask-wearing is not compulsory at Delta 2 for our attendees (non-volunteers), however in line with the Ministry of Health guidelines, we do strongly recommend them for individuals aged 12 and over given the number of teams from across the region in attendance, and possible difficulties with physical distancing in some venues. Cleaning There will be hand sanitisers available at entry to the venue and at the match fields. Please feel free to bring your own hand sanitiser as well. Shared surfaces such as trestle tables, high-touch areas and Kiwibots devices etc. will undergo a pre- and post- event sanitisation. Please be prepared to assist with this as Regional Coordinators may ask each team to help with wiping down their team's trestle table/workspace at the beginning and end of each event. Teams may wipe down their tables more frequently throughout the event if they wish, simply ask the Regional Coordinator for the sanitising spray. If you have any questions about the updated Delta 2 protocols for events, please feel free to get in touch with us directly at contact@kiwibots.co.nz. Events will not take place at Level 3 or higher, and we are reviewing how new Alert Levels impact our major events, so please do stay tuned as we work through these difficult times. We can't wait to safely put events back on for our Kiwibots kids, and thank you all for being so understanding as we find ways to navigate how to get events back for you all. Kia kaha Aotearoa!

With NZ's tech success story, Rocket Lab, going public yesterday - it's a timely reminder to look at all the incredible successes our students achieve every year on the global stage at the VEX World Championships. Kiwibots kids are absolutely following in the footsteps of changemakers like Peter Beck, and we can't wait for the future with these kids at the helm. With support from The Royal Society, our students competed in the live virtual championships of May this year and snagged a number of top awards for Aotearoa. We are so proud of them as we won an award at every grade too! Ka pai koutou! 👏 It's worth noting in this too that we were lucky enough to run a primarily in-person season for 2020-21, and as such the students had robots designed for the in-person rules. In some ways, our students were disadvantaged heading into the worlds against teams who had spend the last 6-10 months preparing for online challenges with designs specific to those rules, so we are especially proud of how well our tamariki adapted and rose to the challenge. Throw into the mix some very early morning starts for our young'uns as they do their interviews at 6am NZST to meet with judges in the USA. Thanks to all the teachers and parents who supported them through a pretty exhausting week! A massive congratulations to all our teams that represented NZ on the world stage in Live Remote Tournaments and Live Remote Skills - Lynfield College, Rubixcoders, Skywalker Robotics, House of Science Tauranga, NakiBots, TopCat, Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School, and College Street Normal School. 🏆 House of Science Tauranga 8757A - Engineering subdivision champions and Innovate Award winners 🏆 Skywalker Robotics 3168S - Create Award winners 🏆 College Street Normal School 2223E Phoenix - Innovate Award winners 🏆 AURA - VEX Innovators Award 🏆 Craig Yearbury - Inspiration All-Star Award and VEX Hall of Fame
