Podcast
Listen to this podcast 'Stirring the Pot' with HERA (Heavy Engineering Research Association). They generously sponsored a kit called 'A Load of Rubbish'. This kit teaches students about recycling, linear and circular economies and aligns with HERA's sustainability goals. Students also get to play with several different super absorbent polymers, make their own bio-plastic out of cornflour and investigate 7 straws from the raw materials through to the end use. When I visited HERA to show them the kit, they were blown away by how comprehensive it was and that the kits are bilingual.

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
