Some background
A large proportion of the people within the Hauraki district appear to have low access to pathways in the creative technology sector. Providing a means to help reduce barriers to involvement will hopefully improve the economic opportunities and exposure to the opportunities available within the sector.
The goal is to provide a location and network for individuals to access the technology and creative pathways. If people want a space to discover anything from blogging to app building, they can use our offices, equipment and software. We don’t provide hands-on training, but we can point people in the direction of online courses, training and tools. People can also book short appointments to discuss ideas or thoughts with staff.
The Creation Room will also run up to four events a year where we will invite our technology partners and other people to talk about their pathway in the creative technology sector. We are calling these events the Celebration of Dangerous Ideas.
This is a complete trial for us. We are not even sure it will work, but we would like to give it a go.
