Tauhara College STEAM class

Written By Kim Manunui

Success! Tauhara College STEAM class have been working with us this year through their innovative traps unit.

Earlier in the term they investigated the local bird diversity in Plantation Reserve- their school restoration area. They then started to investigate the local pest problem. Students have been gaining ecological knowledge about pest adaptations, habitats and characteristics to help them spark innovative ideas for traps plus they've been developing their DVC skills for trap design. To identify which pest species they were dealing with they put out chew cards, but didn't find any evidence on the cards of pests. However, yesterday they tried tracking pest pawprints instead with tracking tunnels and discovered that they do in fact have lots of rat presence as well as hedgehogs!

We are super excited for next term when the students will start building their innovative traps!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
