The project is running to schedule with 10 fantastic schools visited so far. They were in Northland, Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty.

You can check out a couple of cool newspaper articles of our visits to Bay of Islands College and Glenholme Primray, here and here.

This week we’re heading to the East Coast, visiting schools in Muriwai, Nuhaka, Wairoa, and then on to Napier next week.

The community response has been amazing. Balloons haven’t been seen in many of the places we visit, so we’re having fun giving kids and teachers their first balloon flight, as well as engaging kids in STEAM learning through our education programme.
