The Government has announced the Creating a Digitally Fluent Nation package to enhance the digital fluency of our young people, and integrate new Digital Technology & Hangarau Matihiko content into The New Zealand Curriculum and Māori-medium curriculum, Te Matauranga o Aotearoa. One of the initiatives under this package is the National Digital Championship.

The Ministry is looking for an industry partner (which may be a single entity or a consortium) to co-design and deliver a nationwide Digital Championship for children across New Zealand for the 2018 and 2019 school years. The Championship needs to challenge students to be creators of digital solutions, and to design for digital outcomes, using the new Digital Technologies & Hangarau Matihiko curriculum content to solve problems connected to New Zealand’s social challenges and priorities.

The Championship is expected to include regional and national competitions, and may include students from early learning to year 13 at secondary school.

The Ministry is committed to sharing the costs of the Championship, and will match industry funding up to $600,000 per year.
