Matariki Wrap Parties!
Hope you had a fabulous Matariki with whānau, kai, and cold starry mornings! We had a ball running a bunch of free online wānanga with kura across Aotearoa, using Scratch and MakeCode Arcade.
In fact, we loved it so much, we're doing it again - next week! Join Matua Maikara, Kawana, and Geoff for an awesome live 1-hour Matariki Wrap Party! We'll be reflecting on Matariki, making a StarChaser Game, and creating Matariki raps in Scratch!
Thanks to our partner, Microsoft NZ, for supporting us with this kaupapa!
Hope to see you soon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
