MindPlus Clubs Day 2023: A Brilliant Success!

On 18 January 2023, we hosted our first-ever MindPlus Clubs Day at the University of Auckland, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! The event brought together 140 neurodiverse and gifted students from Auckland, the Waikato, and the Bay of Plenty for a day filled with learning, discovery, and connection with like-minds.


A Day of Exploration and Inspiration


In their ten themed clubs, students unleashed their creativity and curiosity as they:

  • Explored the cutting-edge Space Institute

  • Engaged with innovation at the Unleash Innovation Space

  • Discovered wonders in the McGregor Biology Museum

  • Immersed themselves in the VR Design Lab

  • Met and learned from global best-seller Graci Kim, who inspired budding writers and storytellers


Our Scientists, Coders, Readers, Dreamers, and more experienced a day tailored to their passions and interests, forging connections and building memories that will last a lifetime.


Captured Moments of Magic
