Welcome to the NZRT Wiki Podcast. Today we’re looking at nzrtnetwork.com/iteasels/ — Page Content.

So, let’s set the scene. This page lives at the web address slash iteasels on the NZRT Network website. One thing worth noting upfront — as of late May 2026, this page is accessible if you know the URL, but it is not linked in the main navigation. If you visit the site, the main menu shows About, Agents, Agentic OS, and Contact — but Iteasels doesn’t appear there yet. So it’s a live page, just not prominently surfaced to visitors browsing the site.

Now, what is an Iteasel? The headline on the page says it all pretty clearly: Iteasel — Portable Wooden Easel for IT Display. And that’s exactly what it is. The product description explains that the Iteasel is a portable wooden easel designed to hold IT devices — things like laptops, or a Raspberry Pi connected to a monitor, and similar equipment. It’s built for use in classrooms, community halls, libraries, and school events. Anywhere you need to set up a device and have people see it clearly.

What makes this particularly interesting is where it’s made. The Iteasel is locally manufactured in Northland, New Zealand, using Hume Pine and plywood. The design philosophy is practical, durable, and affordable — specifically aimed at the kinds of institutions that need reliable gear but don’t have big budgets to spend on commercial display solutions.

The page also has a spot reserved for photos — promotional images are stored in the NZRT Network work packages folder under the ITE business unit — so that section will fill in once those images are published to the page.

Moving on to what is arguably the heart of this page — the charitable supply section. This is headed “For schools and libraries” and it explains that NZRT Network donates or sells Iteasel units at cost to schools, libraries, and educational institutions that can’t afford commercial display alternatives. So you’re either getting it free as a donation, or at cost price with no markup — whichever fits the situation.

There’s a priority order for who gets access first. Three groups are named. Northland schools come first, given the local connection. Next are low-decile schools and institutions nationwide — so this isn’t just Northland-specific, it extends across New Zealand to schools facing financial constraints. And third are community libraries and halls that serve underserved communities. So the intent is clearly to direct these units where they’ll make the most difference.

If you or your organisation wants to apply for an Iteasel unit, the page walks you through exactly what to do. You send an email to nathan at nzrtnetwork.com. In that email you include four things: your school or organisation name, your location, the number of units you need, and a brief description of how you plan to use them. That’s all. Keep it straightforward. Once you send that through, the team will respond within five working days.

Finally, at the bottom of the page there’s a footer note that puts this product in its wider context. Iteasel is part of NZRT Network’s charitable programme. And NZRT Network itself is in the process of applying for registration as a charitable company under the Charities Act 2005 in New Zealand. So this isn’t a side project — it sits within a formal structure that NZRT is actively working to establish.

To recap what you’ve learned today: the Iteasels page covers a locally made wooden easel for IT devices, aimed at schools and community spaces. It’s donated or sold at cost through a charitable programme. Priority goes to Northland schools, low-decile schools nationwide, and underserved community libraries. Applications go to nathan at nzrtnetwork.com with four pieces of info. And NZRT Network is working toward charitable registration under New Zealand law. The page was last updated the twenty-fourth of May 2026.

That’s it for this episode of the NZRT Wiki Podcast. Thanks for listening.
