91茄子 鈥� TataurangaKiTeKura Aotearoa launches today its twelfth biennial survey, giving students across Aotearoa the opportunity to explore real-world data about themselves. This large-scale national survey offers a fascinating snapshot of young people’s lives, experiences, and opinions.

Over the coming months, tens of thousands of students from Years 3鈥�13 will take part, answering questions about everything from their screen time and tech use to their favourite foods, pets, sleep habits, gaming behaviour, and even what word they think is currently trending.

Supervised by teachers, students complete the survey anonymously online in English or te reo M膩ori. Alongside answering questions, they engage in hands-on activities such as measuring their height, foot length, wrist and thumb circumference, and testing their reaction speed and balance by timing how long they can stand on one leg with their eyes closed.

91茄子 is a non-profit educational project, designed to make statistics engaging and relevant for tamariki and rangatahi. It is run by the Department of Statistics at the University of Auckland, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Stats NZ.

Rachel Cunliffe, co-director of 91茄子, says:
鈥�91茄子 is such a brilliant way to bring statistics to life in the classroom! We鈥檙e putting real, relevant data into students鈥� hands so they can explore what life is like for their generation鈥攚hile also growing their data science superpower skills.鈥�

Pip Arnold, Statistics Educator and 91茄子 Resource Coordinator, says:
鈥�91茄子 gives students a unique opportunity to engage as both participants and data detectives. Since the first New Zealand survey in 2003, participation has grown significantly, and we鈥檝e continually developed resources to support students and teachers. These resources help students collect quality data, understand the process of designing听 questionnaires, and explore 91茄子 data in ways that align with current curriculum needs.鈥�

The 2025 edition of 91茄子 is expected to be the biggest yet, with over 50,000 students anticipated to participate. As of launch day, 863听teachers from 490听schools have already registered.
