“To provide educational enrichment to children and their families. Particular emphasis is placed upon science, technology, engineering and math.”

“Science Camps Several science camps were hosted during the year serving approximately 200 students and their parents. The students that participated in our science camps experienced a wide variety of hands-on STEM education including engineering, physics, biology, conservation, chemistry, robotics, and marine sciences to name a few. Parents and teachers alike reported that their children were significantly more interested and motivated in school after participating in our science camps and showed an eagerness to participate and learn each day at camp.”

“Special Events-hosts events and participate in community events to provide STEM and STEAM based exhibits and hands-on activities for students and their families. Promotes innovation through STEM education, research, and application in our local community. Bring together scientists, educators, students, entrepreneurs, and government officials to explore STEM innovation as a means to help prepare and inspire our local students and grow our economy. Served approximately 780 people.”

“Tutoring Provide after school STEM based tutoring to students that need extra assistance to reach their full potential. Approximately 20 students are tutored every week.”

“Other Programs Exhibits-provides STEM based exhibits within the community to get the public interested in science and promote STEM literacy and education. Exhibits are displayed at local libraries and schools with the goal of increasing STEM literacy in the community. Robotics-several robotics workshops were hosted throughout the year. In the course of doing robotics students learn about engineering and design thinking, physics, computer science, teamwork, and social skills. Science Fairs-hosts various science fairs throughout the year to encourage students independent STEM research and problem solving. 10 of our students participated in a science fair at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting where they interacted with working scientists from a variety of disciplines. STEM Library-lends out STEM books to students who require extra resources for independent research. Training-provided training for 60 educators in our community to help them come up with innovative activities and techniques to get their students interested in STEM. Built a network of administrators and educators within the Hawaii Department of Education. After School Programs-provide STEM based lessons and activities to help approximately 50 students with self directed research in a wide variety of STEM disciplines.”
