About this app

The Unlocking Curious Minds fund supported Scion to develop ‘E heke e Heka!’ a new interactive learning app designed to empower rangatahi (young people) and community with knowledge about myrtle rust. With a focus on accessibility and engagement, the app combines current science information with creative and culturally relevant content, promoting Te Reo Māori and Reo Rua bilingual language options for diverse audiences ages 12 years and above.

In the myrtle rust virtual learning ngahere, the user journeys through stages, gaining knowledge on different aspects of science related to Myrtaceae – myrtle plants, the origin of myrtle rust, infection, identification, environmental factors, and outlook for the future. The app steps the user through environmental science content in a digestible way, incorporating digital illustrations and photo reference visuals, interactive elements, games, and augmented reality activities that connects the app user with the science knowledge presented.
