The NZTech Digital Skills for our Digital Future report released in late 2020 noted the technology industry recognises the need for greater diversity in its workforce. The report also noted that Pacific peoples make up a small percentage of the technology workforce, and that young Pacific people are not studying technology related standards in schools.

The Ministry of Education has partnered with Nanogirl Labs to encourage more Pacific ākonga into technology careers and provide opportunities to improve awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) pathways to learners, whānau and teachers.

In the middle of a pandemic Nanogirl Labs have been navigating the delivery of over 50 full day professional learning for Teachers and Live assemblies in schools with a high proposition of Pacific ākonga. Dr Michelle Dickinson talks about the impact this has had on teachers and the importance of STEM in schools.
