This innovative initiative focuses on the development of five captivating light installations by individuals and small groups of students from the WHS year 10 Design Thinking class. 

With an open brief, each installation is the culmination of the design process for these students, with a variety of messages including the beauty of Aotearoa, sustainability, sovereignty and community involvement through interactive design. 

Through their dedication and ingenuity, these young artists aim to create thought-provoking installations that illuminate the intersection of art, technology, and environmental consciousness. "Kura" promises to be an enlightening showcase of their talent and a testament to the power of creativity and resourcefulness in shaping a brighter future.
