Harakeke or flax was a vital resource for Maori after arriving in New Zealand. And the natural fibre is still being used in modern innovation today. Tuhura Otago Museum's latest travelling science workshop, is sharing these Maori innovations of the past and present with the aim of inspiring the next generation. To explain what it's all about we are joined by the museum's science engagement co-ordinator Anna Farrelly-Rosch.
