Create, Connect & Celebrate
SAVE THE DATE

The DigiFest is a STEM Festival for learners across the Manawatū. We inspire learners to create, connect and celebrate learning within Digital Technologies and e-Learning.

This year's theme, "Local Stories," will highlight connections to values like whanaungatanga (kinship and relationships). We'll incorporate pūrākau (traditional stories) such as Whangaimokopuna and emphasis elements from our environment, like the Manawatū Awa and Tararua Ranges. These connections will celebrate our community's unique heritage and natural surroundings, making DigiFest a truly local experience.
