Kaulele seeks to weave together Hawaiian science and cultural practices with STEM exploration and effectively translate the brilliance of our ancestral knowledge into hands-on, interactive, science-based experiences that captivate and excite the imagination.  Our efforts to effectively engage Native Hawaiians in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields is centered on our belief that students will engage and learn faster if a topic is relevant and fun, connecting them to who they are and where they came from.

 

These exhibits are being designed to travel to various communities statewide in order to provide the capacity to bring much needed informal learning resources to outlying and rural communities.  Our first exhibit, launched in December 2021, is a Kapa exhibit centered around the process of how wauke becomes kapa.  Included in the exhibit are 8 hands-on activities, primarily targeting youth ages 7 thru 14, but designed for all ages to participate in fun and new experiences.  A second exhibit focused on the Kaulana Mahina (Hawaiian moon calendar) is currently in the design phase, with a Loko I’a (Hawaiian fishpond) exhibit soon to follow.
