Maia Mariner — Founder Lazy Sneakers
At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.
Maia will talk about what motivated her and reflections as a young woman of Maori and Pasifika heritage. An impressive young woman, now in her first year at Queen Margaret’s College.
Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora
Hiria loves her community and loves technology, so leading Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.
Whare Hauora goes into Marae, community centres and schools to teach low-income families about Whare Sensors, how to build them and how they can help whanau make informed decisions about how their home affects their health.
With 20 years in technical and business roles spanning open data, open source, digital technologies and infrastructure, Hiria relishes her role and the difference Wharehauora can make in Aotearoa
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)
.
