Pre-K-12 Outreach: Provide hands-on, immersive lab programs where students access industry-standard technologies and apply them in actual community service-learning projects. All activities are student centered, creating an environment where teachers become facilitators, navigating student learning in a multifaceted, team-based, real-world application - where students access high-end technologies developing the career skills and abilities needed to apply engineering design into community service-learning projects to grow the next generation of community leadership. Outreach also includes building STEM teaching capacity in DOE schools. Outreach includes training teachers from beginning to AP. Outreach provides hands-on workshops to engage Hawaii students K-12. Development and implementation of new iterations of existing STEM Efforts; Collaborate with regional partners to align efforts to enhance STEM outreach outcomes. An example of this would be working with an elementary, middle, and high school system to immerse the students in STEM experiences during their K-12 pathways and examining the impact on the student participants related to their self-efficacy in STEM. Parent involvement shall also be included in project development.
