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

“Science Camps Two major science camps were hosted during the year serving approximately 150 students and their parents. The students that participated in our science camps experienced a wide variety of hands-on STEM education including engineering activities, biology, conservation, robotics, aeronautics, 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.”

“Robotics Several robotics workshops were hosted throughout the year serving approximately 100 students. In the course of doing robotics students learn about engineering and design thinking, physics, computer science, teamwork, and social skills. Our robotics programs have been incredibly effective at getting students and their parents interested in STEM and lay the foundation for potential careers in the field.”

“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. Science Fairs-hosts various science fairs throughout the year to encourage students independ 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. 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. Served 100s of people. STEM Library-lends out STEM books to students who require extra resources for independent research. Training-provides training for approximately 10 educators in our community to help them come up with innovative activites and techniques to get their students interested in STEM. Built a network of administrators and educators within the Hawaii Department of Education.”
