Freshwater Macroinvertebrates with Ruud

Written By Kim Manunui

We had a fun couple of days supporting Ruud Kleinpaste from Field-Based STEM with his sessions at Waipahihi School. The school asked him to teach the students about bugs that live in water. He called us and asked where he could get some freshwater macroinvertebrates from. We said that we knew just who to call!

Our friends at Tongariro National Trout Centre helped out and turned up with buckets of freshwater macro invertebrates for the tamariki to look at. It was perfect timing, as their new educator had just started and was able to join us and learn from ‘Bugman’, Ruud Kleinpaste too.

It was great to collaborate and all learn from each other. We love the collaborative opportunities like this that come up through Taupo EEC.

Thanks Ruud for taking our coordinators, Rachel and Heidi, on a nocturnal bug hunt too. We always love exploring with you!

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.
