Engaging students in science and math education through real world companies and technologiesThrough the STEM Hawaii website, Educators and Industry members can collaborate to create relevant projects that demonstrate real-world applications of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. These projects can effectively inform and inspire students to pursue further learning and careers in STEM-related pathways. This creates opportunities to ensure economic sustainability for communities in Hawaii. Featured Project Ipu Waiwai - Storing the Wealth of LearningFunded by the U.S. Department of Education.
