Girls in tech - Curious Minds, He Hihiri i te Mahara
Technology in the New Zealand curriculum is defined as intervention by design – the use of practical and intellectual resources to develop products and systems that expand human possibilities by addressing needs and realising opportunities. Technology in action provides students with the opportunity to apply critical thinking and creative problem solving strategies to authentic, real world problems. It is never static but influenced by - and in turn impacts on - the cultural, ethical, environmental, political and economic conditions of the day.

The Stories Behind TIME's 100 Women of the Year Covers
To mark the role of the 100 Women of the Year in history, we embarked on something historic of our own: creating a TIME cover to recognize each of them. From charcoal portraits to a three-dimensional paper sculpture, from photo collages to fine-art paintings, from wooden sculptures to a quilted fabric image, the art we commissioned reflects the breadth of the 100 choices. Regardless of style, our aim was to find compelling pairings of artist and subject. The project selected a woman or group to represent each year from 1920 to 2019, and our visual approach follows the same arc by re-creating TIME’s cover design as it evolved over the past century—from the illustrative scroll of the 1920s to the iconic red border of today. Each cover is visually emblematic of the period its subject represents.

Tim Harford: In the digital technologies programme, we were looking to make connections with industry on areas that were relevant to what we were teaching.

All of the companies we approached were very helpful.

Centennial of Suffrage – Speakeasy News
In 1920, almost 150 years after the United States declared that “all men are created equal,” American women got the right to vote… 27 years after women in New Zealand did. American suffragists worked for almost 80 years to obtain that right. And there’s still work to do today. As is often the case in the United States, the movement progressed state by state before arriving at the national level. In 1869, the state of Wyoming became the first in America where women could vote. A dozen other states, most of them in the West, followed over the years.
