Ko taku waimarie i whiwhi 'karahipi' kia whai atu te Masters of Technological Futures - kia whakanui nga akonga i roto i ngā kaupapa o te STEAMM, kia whakaora anō te taiao - arā ko te awa o Wairoa ki Tamaki-makau-rau.

Shanandore Brown is a promoter of STEAMM (science, technology, engineering, maths and mātauranga Māori) education in Aotearoa.

She is a specialist teacher of technology at Papakura Intermediate School. In 2019 she and her students created NZ’s first Māori Astronomically Aligned School Playground.

In 2020 she received a Teacher’s Study Award and is working toward completing a Master of Technological Futures, where she is exploring how emerging disruptive technologies can be used to enable effective communication of live environmental data with a modern, cultural twist. This includes the concept of projecting a 3D Digital Avatar as a ‘kaitiaki’ of a river system whose appearance is determined by live environmental data sourced from an IoT (Internet of Things), giving nature a voice and body. This fundamentally creates a picture that paints a thousand words - a picture that can speak and communicate scientific data.
