New Zealand event promotes Māori leadership in science and tech
紐西蘭舉辦活動推廣毛利人在科學與技術領域的領導地位
In Aotearoa New Zealand, a powerful movement is reshaping education through PŪRAU, the Māori equivalent of STEM.
在紐西蘭的奧特亞羅瓦（ㄠˋㄊㄜˋㄧㄚˊㄌㄨㄛˊㄨㄚˇ），一項強大的運動正透過 PŪRAU 重塑教育，這是毛利（ㄇㄠˊㄌㄧˋ）版對應的 STEM。
By connecting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to mātauranga Māori, or ancestral knowledge, educators are helping rangatahi—young people—see these fields as part of their own heritage.
透過將科學、技術、工程和數學與毛利知識（mātauranga Māori）——即祖先傳承的知識——相結合，教育工作者正協助年輕人（rangatahi）將這些領域視為自身遺產的一部分。
Central to this success is the tuakana-teina model, where senior mentors guide junior students, creating a supportive environment where cultural identity and academic ambition thrive together.
此成功的核心在於「tuakana-teina」模式，即由資深導師引導年幼學生，創造一個文化認同與學術志向共同繁榮的支持環境。
Programs like the Pūhoro STEMM Academy and the Whatumoana Paki Scholarship are bridging the gap between high school and the workforce, offering students pathways to high-impact careers.
諸如 Pūhoro STEMM Academy 和 Whatumoana Paki 獎學金等計畫，正縮短高中與職場之間的差距，為學生提供邁向高影響力職業的途徑。
Ultimately, this movement is about more than just filling jobs; it is about reclaiming space in the scientific community and ensuring that the future of New Zealand innovation is built on a foundation of equity, community, and cultural pride.
終究，這項運動的目的不僅是填補職缺，更在於重新奪回在科學界的話語權，並確保紐西蘭創新的未來是建立在公平、社區與文化自豪的基礎之上。
