Switch Up: Sustainable Solutions

Ever wondered where your old t-shirts end up? Want to find how a potato becomes a plate? Find out the answers to these questions and more at SWITCH UP, our new exhibition all about sustainable solutions.

Opening Saturday 1 October, Switch Up: Sustainable Solutions aims to inspire tamariki and their whānau to find sustainable solutions, at home, at school and within their communities.

This immersive experience features a range of waste-reducing innovation and sustainable tech from around Aotearoa including inspiring initiatives designed to combat clothing, construction and food waste. Explore the local awa of Waititīko Meola Creek and learn about the extraordinary restoration activity from local kura and community groups.

Get ready to take on the challenge with MOTAT and switch up your thinking to improve our environment.
