Tīrama ana mai ngā whetū o te ata. Ko Puanga kei runga, Takurua kei runga, koia ko Matariki e tīaho iho nei. 
 
Explore the wonders of Matariki through stargazing and storytelling in this special event, hosted in collaboration with the Tauranga Astronomical Society and STEM Wana. Discover the stars that guided our tīpuna, hear pūrākau of Matariki, and deepen your understanding of the connections between science and mātauranga Māori.
