We fly a hot air balloon and implement our unique education programme at schools throughout New Zealand from 1 March to 30 June. We reach thousands of young people each year, inspiring them to take up STEAM learning to create a stronger, regenerative future for themselves and their communities.

The project brings together education providers, businesses and government organisations to research and promote sustainable innovation and STEAM learning. We showcase project activities and the work of sustainably innovative companies, people and community groups.

We participate in balloon festivals and community events around Aotearoa.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with our latest news.

The Flying High Project’s educational programme is aligned with the New Zealand school curriculum. Year 5-9 students take part in our teacher-led three module programme. Students focus on finding practical, innovative and regenerative solutions to help improve themselves and their communities.

We acknowledge that many of the schools we visit have a large proportion of Māori and Pasifika children. We have incorporated Mātauranga Māori into our education programme, based on the thought that ‘’In order to know where you’re going, you need to know where you’ve come from’’.

We believe it’s important to engage Mana Whenua where possible so that we can share our Kaupapa, helping to create stronger communities together.
