Jess Manins — CEO MIXT Studios
MIXT specialises in the production of augmented and virtual reality (VR) solutions. MIXT has developed a VR tool for the Breast Cancer Foundation to support women undergoing treatment.
Jess will talk about the opportunities and challenges afforded by disruptive technologies.
Maia Mariner — Founder Lazy Sneakers
At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.
Maia will talk about what motivated her and reflections as a young woman of Maori and Pasifika heritage. An impressive young woman, now in her first year at Queen Margaret’s College.
Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora
Hiria loves her community and loves technology, so leading Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.
Whare Hauora goes into Marae, community centres and schools to teach low-income families about Whare Sensors, how to build them and how they can help whanau make informed decisions about how their home affects their health.
With 20 years in technical and business roles spanning open data, open source, digital technologies and infrastructure, Hiria relishes her role and the difference Wharehauora can make in Aotearoa
