Water Challenge Learning Hub 2025

Year 7–8 (Level 4)

Term 3 2025

Ready, set, flow! Ākonga construct and test a mini model of Aotearoa New Zealand's wai network. They'll explore the journey of wai and how STEM is used to collect, clean, connect and care for one of Earth’s most precious taonga.

Please note: The start of the challenge will be delayed slightly while we wait for all the componentry to arrive for our new kits. We are anticipating you’ll have your kit by week 3 of the term. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and if it impacts your ability to participate, please let us know.
