Kahua A‘o provides place-, culture-, and standards-based Earth Science STEM lessons with activities that are ready to implement. Lessons integrating Hawaiian language newspaper articles are inspiring for local students and particularly relevant to the 30% of Hawai‘i’s K-12 students who are of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander ancestry. We also share the use of Hawaiian language newspapers for research (1871 Hurricane), educational (PD), and institutional outcomes (IHLRT) that extend well beyond Earth Science curriculum development.

Light refreshments will be served.

All in the COE are welcome!

SEE YOU THERE!
