Pono STEAM Kit is a part of the Hawai'i DLNR 2025 Year of Our Community Forests

The Pono STEAM kit is now part of the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources 2025 Year of Our Community Forests in the "Activities and Lesson Plans" section (scroll down to that section to see it). It is an honor to have the outcome of this experiment project be included as educational content by the State. As this year progresses and I conduct more community workshops in my garage and in local community spaces, I hope to add a few more ʻĀina based activities to the Pono STEAM Kit page.

About This Project

How might we design science kits rooted in cultural and ancestral knowledge unique to Hawai’i? There is no shortage of kits shipped here, but a lack of homegrown kits centering ancestral innovation and local natural materials. If we can develop Hawaiian place based science kits, we will uplift Hawaiian frameworks for solving our unique environmental challenges.

We will develop biomaterial and frugal science kits useful to grow trust spaces for local science innovation conversations.

Blast off!
