My Project

Preparing for a unique, sustainable learning experience.

Our diverse student community is embarking on an exciting journey that offers gardening and robotics.

Equipped with heavy-duty shredders, sturdy carts, stainless steel tables, folding dry erase boards, a digital microscope, and hard-side rolling cases, our students are cultivating a dynamic learning environment.

The heavy-duty shredder becomes a gateway to sustainability, teaching composting and environmental interconnectedness. The heavy-duty cart facilitates seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor gardening and robotics activities, while the folding dry erase board serves as a canvas for collaboration and innovation.

At the stainless steel table, students explore and create, merging robotics components or gardening experiments. The hard-side rolling cases ensure tournament readiness, instilling responsibility and professionalism.

Beyond the tools, our students, hailing from diverse backgrounds, contribute to the vibrant tapestry of our school ʻohana. This essential integration of nature and technology creates not just excitement to learn, but a deeper connection to our ʻāina (land). Welcome to a condensed yet rich symphony of growth, discovery, and joyous learning!
