Here's something fun for next weekend at the Library! Circuit-bent kids toys, tape machines, retro synths through guitar pedals, along with other oddities such as solar panels, nabbed from broken garden lamps that become audio oscillators when mashed together with computer fans and bike lights - built upon the works of my buddy Adam Ben-Dror. Anyone working in education or with a passion for city planning is welcome to stop by for a chat about ways that STEAM projects and creative spaces, with collaboration and connectivity across Dunedin, could be provided to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds both easily and affordably by harnessing resources that are lost via waste streams. The e-waste world is full of musical items that provide a tangible and engaging link to the principles of physics, electronics and engineering. A motor from a tape machine demonstrates gear reduction, the copper wire pulled out of the motor and rewound can demonstrate electromagnetism, which taped to a piece of paper and connected to an amplifier shows how electromagnetism transforms electricity into sound waves.. and so on. The hugely popular MakeRoom Wellington, where I used to work, have been lightyears ahead on all of this 👏 👏 👏 Although they give 110% every day, as well as a large portion of their family home to make it work and have almost no holidays, I've witnessed how incredibly challenging it has been to upscale and achieve wider acknowledgement and recognition under their own steam. It's a difficult one to unpack why it's like this, or how such a brilliant example can continue to fly under the radar of those in a position to support and enact greater change. In saying all of that, thanks to the Dunedin City Council Waste Minimalisation funding team for their support with this project and I'm really looking forward to updates on the upcoming waste plan!
If you happen to be in the neighbourhood on Saturday the 18th of May around midday, we'll be in the Library helping anyone to connect up miscellaneous gear and make cool sounds!

Chair, Social Entrepreneur, Education & Social Mobility Advisor, Corporate Growth & Change Specialist
6,000 young people with a life changing opportunity, about 244,000 more to go to ensure our most disadvantaged Generation Z have lifetimes defined by their talent and not their circumstances. Of course it is possible. There are more than enough potential mentors and simple connections that transform. And that is in every walk of life, sector and lived experience. I know at firsthand and through the experience of recruiting 20,000 volunteers. The motivation, commitment and resilience of our communities is immense. Our Generation Z have had a devastating cocktail of issues to deal with - COVID isolation, loss of relationships, relentless social media pressure, continuous uncertainty and crisis. There should be no surprise on the inevitable impacts whether mental health or school attendance. And that is before we talk about the education, wealth and opportunity divides. Depressed, read on. There are solutions. In politics and for some there are different definitions of honesty. However there is just one truth. With a new Government it is a great time to face it. Our Generation Z needs the very best of us. It is time for a Gen Z Manifesto. In complexity there are simple solutions. Not policy soundbites but practical and actual transformations. There are more than enough of us across the country who want to and will make this happen. One way - become an MCR mentor to make but also experience a life changing difference. Have a listen to the short radio interview. An hour a week really can make a lifetime of difference. Watch this space for all the ways we will reach all 250,000 that need and deserve a relationship in which they can trust and thrive. We have imagined it and now working on it. A Gen Z Manifesto. A practical guide and a 10 year commitment. This social change will drive sustainable growth, for us all.

In a recent edition of Exchange Every Day dedicated to embracing families, communities, and culture, Monica Wells, our family and community program administrator, shared her deep connection to families and communities and how it positively impacts children's success. "Strong, authentic relationships between our families, students, and educators are key. We must speak life into our students, cheer them on, teach them the skills, and provide the tools they need to be prepared for the future. We must show examples of the power, importance, and necessity of community." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gc7ur8uu
