The Innovators is an exhibition which celebrates not only the achievements but the entire process of innovation, from conceptualisation to creation and explores the learnings from setbacks overcome along the way. Here visitors will gain a unique insight into the personal attributes and thought processes of ordinary Kiwis who have achieved extraordinary feats.
A range of kiwi innovators will share their stories and hard-won wisdom include Peter Beck from Rocket Lab, Rod Drury from Xero, Ian Taylor from Animation Research Limited, Frances Valintine from The Mind Lab by Unitec and Dr Keith Alexander from Springfree Trampoline. The exhibition explores the personalities and contributions of not only the well-known public figures, but also, their lesser known colleagues who work behind the scenes and without whom the innovations would not be possible. These teams will motivate young and old to be innovators in their own lives, to tackle the problems they see around them and adopt a new way of looking at the world to achieve their goals and make a difference to society.
The exhibition aims to inspire young and old to be innovators in their own lives, to tackle the problems they see in the world around them, and to practice the good habits of successful innovators.
The exhibition features a broad range of things to do, including digital interactives, a Virtual Reality simulator and a Springfree Trampoline and is suitable for all ages.
