Happy Holidays from TechMate
What a busy year 2019 has been for TechMate - and chock full of amazing results. We helped more than 70 families get low-cost internet; 30 people received their own Chromebook through the Computers in Homes programme; many people earned Digital Licences by learning how to keep themselves and their families safer online; we started running free, weekly Stepping Up taster courses; and we hosted over 300 one-on-one digital technology learning sessions.
To TechMate clients, friends and supporters we thank you for being part of our 2019 journey and wish you a very joyful and safe holiday season. We look forward to seeing you again in 2020.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
