While at camp, students participated in hands-on, collaborative, culture-based STEM activities such as: • connecting the water cycle to watersheds inHawaiʻi and creating models comparingmonthly precipitation levels in cities aroundthe island;• learning how wai kai (brackish water)estuaries were the perfect spots for lokokuapā fishponds that Native Hawaiiancommunities constructed and utilized;• constructing hydrometer tools to measuresalinity levels of different water samples; and• programming robots to travel through amodel of a Hawaiian hanawai (irrigation)system.Student creating a bar graph of precipitation levels in Waimānalo. hands-on, collaborative, culture-based STEM activities A student watering plants at Kalaeloa Heritage Park On the final day of camp, students, Teacher Mentors, Junior Mentors, Ka Pilina Noʻeau 2 staff and ʻohana attended a service learning opportunity at Kalealoa Heritage Park. Participants toured ancient cultural sites and structures (such heiau, habitation sites, burial sites, and passages to fresh water), and learned about how the ancient inhabitants who settled there used STEM skills to live and create a thriving community. Participants then provided service by watering native plants around the park. Follow @KaPilinaNoeau PAGE 6 PAGE 7 KPN2 Junior Mentors on a campus tour of UH Mānoa. The STEM camp was the culminating experience for our two Teacher Mentors and four Ka Pilina Noʻeau 2 Junior Mentor high school interns. Teacher Mentors are elementary teachers in Hawaiʻi DOE schools. They participated in Ka Pilina Noʻeau 2’s 8-week Mentor Training, where they learned about Ka Pilina Noʻeau 2’s Math & Science Learning Model (MSL) Model and curriculum and covered topics such as: • culturally responsive teaching,• Universal Design for Learning,• Problem-Based Learning, and• integrated STEM.Junior Mentors are cross-age peer mentors and STEM role models for our K-5 students at STEM camps. Prior to camp, Junior Mentors participated in Ka Pilina Noʻeau 2’s 30-hour Junior Mentor Internship Training, where they learned how to assist teachers and elementary students in a classroom and how to mentor younger students. Junior Mentors also learned to develop soft skills such as time management, organization, team work, and communication. Participants touring Kalaeloa Heritage Park visit this hundreds of years old ti leaf plant growing out of one of the many sinkholes that the ancient inhabitants used as sources of freshwater. During Spring STEM camp, Junior Mentors worked in the classrooms with students and teachers to help implement lessons, then had the opportunity to develop and implement their own hands-on STEM activities with the students. Junior Mentors also took a campus tour of UH Mānoa to learn more about the University and about what it is like to attend college. Student building a hydrometer to measure water salinity.
