Learning STEM subjects through sailing - a podcast by RNZ

The America's Cup has been a perfect springboard to help create waterwise children, Yachting New Zealand has just launched a new schools programme - K?k?kaha - Powered by the Wind. National sport development director Raynor Haagh says K?k?kaha is aimed at year 5 to year 10 pupils and helps them to learn more about sailing by focusing on the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) associated with harnessing the power of the wind. More than 20,000 children from 250 schools are so far taking part.
