Why Nutri-Islands

Healthy habits developed from young are hard to break. Tamariki depends on school and home environment to learn this.

Nutri-Islands is a nutrition video game targeted towards 7 to 11 year olds, with a school subscription model. Tamariki will help Ote, the game's protagonist, improve his whanau's health by learning and choosing the correct healthy food items for a given task.

Teachers and parents can further support Tamariki's learning by viewing Tamariki's curriculum progress through our learning dashboard, and downloading our resources (such as recipes, fun activities and lesson plans).
