Welcome to SACTH - the innovative Hub in South Auckland leading the charge in getting the Maori and Pacific community into the Tech sector.
We believe that technology is for everyone, especially our Pacific and Maori community. We are working to unlock barriers and ensure that our inherent Pacific cultural creativity makes a mark on the Tech world.
Come visit us to learn more.
On the day you can tour our state-of-the-art facility and we will highlight the programmes on offer for young people and the different elements we use to progress their Tech journey.
