Auckland students create educational ‘Hip Cards’

Pakuranga College students Eric Irani, Lucas Greenwood, Joshua Hall and Aman Kumar created a product, labelled Hip Cards – Hello In a Pack of Cards – that helps children and adults learn different greetings from around the world. “We’ve taken an ordinary set of playing cards and made it into a learning resource for teachers in the classroom and parents,” Eric says. The Ministry of Ethnic Communities is sending a film crew to Auckland this month, Times reports, to capture the exciting work the Hip Cards crew is doing. Meanwhile, the Hip Cards team has been visiting schools to show their product.
