Digital Natives Academy, a non-profit, was established in 2014 to help spark imaginations and help transform lifes.
Digital Natives Academy exists to inspire the next generation of digital leaders. Our kaupapa (vision) is built on three pou: design, culture, and impact. With a foundation in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) and a focus on creative technology, we empower young people to shape meaningful futures, honouring their identity, uplifting their communities, and protecting the environment they call home.
Our goal is to support rangatahi (young people) who don’t have access to technology. We do this to inspire them to become makers and innovators of technology, rather than users and consumers of it.
Creating a Nation of
Bold & Creative Thinkers
We are building communities of fearless, future-focused thinkers who draw on their unique perspectives to tackle the world’s biggest challenges, from climate change to the rise of artificial intelligence.
Over the years, DNA has become more than a platform for skill acquisition and career pathways, it’s become a sanctuary from an often cold, uncaring world where the outliers of society can find whānau, friendship and most importantly a sense of belonging.
