Otangarei ICT Hub walk the Stepping UP path!

The newly formed Otangarei ICT hub at the Otangarei Marae is in full swing training families in the Stepping UP programme.

Formed in May 2014, the ICT hub hopes to bring training opportunities to all members of their community.  Two really dedicated women, Wahine Paewhenua and Lisa Godsall-Thomas, are at the hub every day helping their people to learn and use the computers that the 2020 Communications Trust so generously installed. 

Feedback so far has been incredible, people have commented on having less graffiti in the neighbourhood as taggers are at the hub using the computers!  And kids are coming in with their guitars and using the headphones to listen and learn how to play using YouTube.

Here are a couple of pictures from this mornings Stepping UP class:
