ABOUT CRDG SUMMER PROGRAMSThe Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) Summer Programs

at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa continues its commitment of over forty

years of summer education, exploration, and adventure . Students entering

grades 1–12 discover what it takes to be scientists conducting research in the

laboratory and field; engineers designing and building solutions to real world

problems; conservationists working to protect the natural resources of the aina;

artists, writers, and designers exploring their creativity; or actors producing

and starring in an original stage production .

Inquiry-based instruction and hands-on learning in the classroom, laboratory,

field, studio, and theater are the cornerstones of our courses . Classes are led

by a highly qualified staff of teachers and teacher-assistants to ensure a safe

learning environment where students immerse themselves in their work and

come to their own “A-HA!” moments .

every day . “Ed-ventures” will continue on field trips that explore tide pools,

gardens, and landscaped and forested areas to enrich their experiences .

Through activities from CRDG’s Hawai‘i Nature Study program, Hawai‘i’s

outdoor environment becomes the students’ classroom and laboratory .

Students will explore the world of plants, insects and small animals, and

Hawai‘i’s reef and shore . Investigations into different organisms will follow

their life cycles, test their responses to various stimuli, observe their different

behaviors, learn what places them in different groups, and determine what

foods or nutrients they require . The learning experience is broadened through

the integration of field trips, arts and crafts, and the visual and performing arts .
