2022 Computer Science Grants Awarded to Kiwi Teachers

Teachers transform the lives of young New Zealanders every day. This is why it’s so important that teachers, all across the country, have the knowledge and access to the resources they need to equip their students for the future. 

Google is committed to ensuring that teachers are supported to teach digital technologies to all students and has been providing Educator Professional Development grants to New Zealand teachers for over a decade. The program is focused on teachers who have not historically had access to professional development, particularly those teachers in regional and rural areas. 

Through these grants, teachers will gain the knowledge and skills to confidently teach those core computational thinking concepts and help our students become the next generation of technologists. 

To date, over 20,000 have benefited from Google’s Educator Professional Development Grants program across Australia and New Zealand. 

We’re excited to announce the 2022 grant recipients for New Zealand: 

• CORE Education 
• The University of Canterbury 
• Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa 
• AUT University
