We’ve seen what happens when you bring the right people together with the right tools.
In 2023, a team of Mission Ready work experience candidates helped bring Buzzly to life — a platform that gave over 4,000 young New Zealanders a voice on issues that matter. Buzzly hosted 43 challenges, collected more than 4,500 ideas, and channelled over $50,000 to fund creative, youth-led solutions. It was more than a project — it became an award winning movement.
Now we’re doing it again.
Mission Ready is proud join the AI Forum NZ and host an AI Hackathon Aotearoa on 22–23 August, and we’re inviting our entire community to get involved — alumni, current candidates, future prospects, and industry partners.
This is your opportunity to work on real-world problems, explore how AI can be used for social good, and create solutions that have lasting impact. Whether you want to suggest a project, join a team, or demo something you've already built, there’s a place for you.
We believe the best ideas don’t come from the top down — they come from people on the ground, closest to the problems. If you're someone who wants to make a difference, we want to hear from you.
Ready to join us?

And if you’re not entering yourself, share this with someone who should. Let’s show Aotearoa what AI can do when it’s guided by purpose.
