Welcome to Inertia Education

Redefine education and innovation for the next generation in Aotearoa

About Us

Inertia Education is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to transforming curriculum delivery across all subject areas. Our unique approach involves collaborating with students, teachers, and communities to develop innovative educational projects within local contexts.

By working closely with these stakeholders, we create tailored learning experiences that resonate with and reflect the needs of each community, ensuring that our programs are both impactful and sustainable.

The Makertruck Project

The Mobile Makerspace Initiative is a groundbreaking portable STEAM education platform that aims to transform the learning landscape in Aotearoa. By collaborating with partner schools during year-long residencies, we develop ambitious, high-tech, and creative engineering projects that challenge students to acquire new skills and implement them.

This initiative bridges the digital divide by providing access to cutting-edge technology and learning experiences for students who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.

Our commitment to engaging the community and ensuring equal access to STEAM education guarantees the sustainability and success of the project, ultimately shaping the next generation of creative thinkers. The model will be funded by a unique not-for-profit/MOE partnership which will allow for sustainable use of funding and a very productive use of charity income.
