Win a Free VR Visit for Your School with Westpac and BLAKE

Westpac NZ and BLAKE are running a nationwide competition to giveaway 15 immersive learning experiences. This is a unique opportunity for your school to secure a high-tech session without hitting the science department budget.

The initiative aims to make climate science accessible and engaging. By using virtual reality, rangatahi can witness the impacts of environmental change firsthand, moving beyond the classroom whiteboard to explore the frontlines of our changing ecosystems.
