A new play-based learning programme for adults uses virtual reality, 3D printing and other new tech.

It is an initiative set up by academyEX - the education institute behind The Mind Lab - a space in Auckland where professional teams can go and learn with hands-on experimenting.

The organisation offers micro-credentials to Master's degrees on subjects like technological futures as well as organisational resilience.

At the Play Lab the tools available will include 3D printers, robotics, sensors and artificial intelligence.

The organisation is taking bookings from teams that want to have a go.
