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

“HSTM provided crucial Educator Support as COVID 19 spread across our community and fundamentally changed the way educators were able to provide instruction for their students. As a nonprofit dedicated to STEM education our team felt a duty to maintain and increase the amount of services offered to the people of Hawaii in their greatest time of need rather then entrenching ourselves and riding out the storm. The HSTM team sprung into action and created science kits along with educator training and professional development, and delivery of online support programs to serve approximately 3,000 students K-12 across Hawaii island. Curriculum delivered met Next Generation Science Standards and the vast majority of students we served attended Title 1 schools with large populations of free/reduced lunch recipients and minorities including Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and English Language Learners.”

“The Kenyan K Beals Community Robotics Center KKBCRC is HSTMs flagship program for delivery of STEM workforce development education for students, KKBCRC programs have a heavy emphasis on hands-on and project-based learning inclusive of robotics, electronics, 3D printing, computer aided design, coding, rocketry, and other trade skills. Program participants also learn crucial soft skils such as public speaking, written documentation, teamwork, sportsmanship, and civic responsibility. The KKBCRC served approximately 500 students this year.”

“HSTM Science Camps serve as a way for our organization to provide in-depth education in STEM subjects such as physics, biology, astronomy, engineering, robotics, mathematics, and many more disciplines which help prepare the children we serve for further education and meaningful employment. Our organization hosts a wide varienty of science camps, particularly servicing students from rural and underserved areas. We also feature science camps that aim specifically to increase the number of women in STEM fields, HSTM offers a fall break camp, womens science camps for physics and engineering, and transitional science camps to assist students making the jump from elementary school to intermediate school. HSTM science camps served approximately 300 students this year.”

“HSTM provides a wide variety of additional programs to support the community in STEM education. Our exhibit hall, robotics programs, and special events and programs that we provide have a wide reach across ages, genders, and other demographics. It is our mission to promote STEM fields and education and bring the wonder of the natural world to families in our community. The HSTM research and development program opens new pathways for our education and technology programs and has been invaluable in our organizations efforts to protect our community from the COVID-19 pandemic. HSTM has been heavily involved in developing and providing various interventions for businesses, schools, and other organizations while working in collaboration with our partners to provide assistance and education to help keep our community safe and reduce infection rates. These additional programs provided by our organization reached approximately 3,000 people in our community this year.”
