Centre of Excellence in Information Technology - CEIT, Cook Islands

A good day on Wednesday 29th at Ministry of Internal Affairs 🙌

Our workshop focused on helping our seniors feel more comfortable using their devices, showing how simple settings can make a real difference. 😁🤳
Big thanks to Jim Nimerota and the INTAFF team for guiding this session. Made possible with support from NetSafe, Centre of Excellence in Information Technology - CEIT, Cook Islands and INTAFF.

We'll be back with another one. Next one in the future! 👀

The data doesn’t lie.

Students who participate in robotics and STEM programs show higher confidence, stronger problem-solving skills, improved academic performance, and greater interest in future careers in tech and engineering.

This isn’t just about robots.
It’s about mindset.
It’s about opportunity.
It’s about preparing our kids for a future that is already here.

When we invest in STEM, we invest in potential! 💪

Today our Kuki Code Avengers are learning how to design, test, and fix real engineering problems: simple machines, gears, and mechanical thinking.

How it works: turning motion lifts to raise and lower the bridge

Building more than robots.

We are building capability.
