We wanted to provide a platform that’s not only educational, but also engages the audience, which is why we opted for the games format.” Mrs McKenzie says the team spent most of last year working with local app developers to create the concept. It was initially envisaged as a resource solely for teachers of Maori, but the scope was soon widened to include a more generic audience.
