Creating another group in Tauranga! with help from the team in Auckalnd If pos?

Summary: BJ Black, BJ Black, expresses enthusiasm for developing simple community and health-related apps aimed at encouraging basic healthy activities such as walking. Drawing on a decade of experience hosting community events, BJ highlights a successful recent project, "The Welcome Bay Community Markets," which supported local artists and creators. They are actively engaging with tech hubs and centers in Tauranga, New Zealand, and are seeking a co-organizer, preferably from Auckland, as Google requires collaboration for app development initiatives. BJ is hopeful for assistance and connections within the tech community.
AI Summary

I am super keen to learn Apps, My main area with Apps will be Community and general Basic Health. e.g. A app that reminds you to go for a walk or a like. My Apps and the niche of what I want to build is, The most simple and basic Apps for those that like to keep it simple. ( like myself in certain areas)

I am currently connecting with local tech hubs in Tauranga and tech companies plus my local Community Centre.

My experience with hosting etc has been over a period about 10 years and the latest project I did was "The Welcome Bay Community Markets'' S suburb in Tauranga.

It was a hit and I did this to promote artists/creators and put some money in pockets of the community etc.

I have worked with community centres all over NZ and for the past decade.

Be great to have a gdg in Tauranga at a tech company or community cente.

*I need a co organsier, Maybe someone in Auckland I can just talk to once in a while, also google requires it and I can't find any one in Tauranga that is a verified app dev etc.

Much appreciated, Hope to hear from you soon
