PledgeMe project is kicking in, a few weeks to go so please please support this amazing charity - simply go to the project page, "Sensors that tell you when your home is making you sick". As the project runs questions come in and Hiria and team have answered a lot of them in a video (on the project plage and linked below).

Hiria has been hitting the media with TV, newspaper, and radio slots abound especially after the first of the workshops at Strathmore in Wellington. 

Monday (6th Aug) Hiria is in Auckland to talk to all you corporates to garner even more support - she'll do interpretive dance on the Queen's Street pedestrian crossing if that's what it takes!

Simon Che de Boer is a rockstar ... no, not because he looks like one, but he truly is in the world of virtual reality. His self-taught techniques, use of open source, and sheer amount of work he puts in has meant there is no-one on the planet is able to create the level of hyperreality that he can.

Just ask his fans all over the world, including many production companies, major software companies, hardware vendors, and fellow AR/VR creators.

Now, with any rockstar there comes a heartfelt background, a story of ups and big downs, and of resilience and overcoming the arrows of outrageous misfortune.

And at the end of it, Simon is a funny guy with an incredible talent and a burning star of focus within him, He can also scratch you up the wrong way with his brutal honesty - we at AG welcome it :)

Listen about the PledgeMe project ... and then GO PLEDGE:
https://pledgeme.co.nz/projects/5701-sensors-that-tell-you-when-your-home-is-making-you-sick

We need your help to take the next step and run trials in key communities, so we’re asking you to pledge to buy a kit, and for each kit you buy we’ll give one to a family in need. Each kit comes with 4 sensors, a gateway and a free app that helps you measure the health of your home.

We believe every home in New Zealand should have sensors, and that they should be government funded for our most vulnerable communities - just like the flu jab. But until we can make that a reality, we need our community to help us reach those who need us the most.

Join our mission
We want an Aotearoa where our homes don’t make us us sick. We want every home to have a sensor kit within the next 5 years.

By pledging your support, you’ll help empower communities to understand how their homes can affect their health.

You’ll also help us gather secure, non-personal data that helps paint a picture of what’s needed in New Zealand building standards.

Paul Ramsay is co-founder and director of the NZ-owned consultancy firm Equinox, a day-to-day hands-on worker bee, and one of the few true gentlemen of tech in New Zealand.

It was a pleasure to hear Paul's views on how to stay real in a growing company, what it takes to overcome a serious blip in a company's progress, and how the Government can truly help grow the New Zealand ICT industry to become the nation's 2nd income earner [spoiler] ensure it's easy and a focus for agencies to become customers of New Zealand's tech companies [/spoiler].

Edwina Mistry has an origin story that has given her the worldview that women can do anything (as they can). From her coding days, to her managerial and directorship times she now concentrates her efforts on ensuring tech, and the internal workings of tech, are available to all - from schools in South Auckland to girls shadowing those working in tech (as we say, "you can be what you can't see").

Edwina is a New Zealand powerhouse and has recently been recognised as such by a number of institutions, associations, and her peers.
