Waka Ō Te Rourou Iti

Bring creativity and entrepreneurship into the classroom with this food truck design challenge. Ākonga collaborate to design their own Māori-inspired food truck, complete with name, menu, branding, and customer experience. Students use te reo Māori to describe dishes, share opinions, and communicate with customers in authentic situations. 

Through design tasks and teamwork, learners explore how language connects to business, food, and culture. This engaging unit blends innovation, creativity, and reo Māori in a vibrant hands-on project.
