Digital Natives Academy (DNA) is New Zealand's first eSports & Game Dev Training Academy, established in 2014 in Rotorua. As a non-profit organization, DNA aims to inspire the next generation of digital leaders and encourage whānau & families to become creators, developers, and innovators of digital technology. Through a range of online and offline activities, including coding, game dev, YouTube, and professional eSports coaching, DNA provides access to safe digital tools to prepare whanau for increased opportunities in the technology sector and the digital future. DNA is more than a platform for skill acquisition and career pathways; it's a sanctuary for the outliers of society to find whānau, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
