Empowering STEM education

Unlike any other class in Hawai‘i’s middle and high school curriculum, STEMworks™ is a multi-faceted, hands-on program where students get to use the most current, high-end technologies in actual community service learning projects. In this dynamic learning environment, STEMworks™ teachers become facilitators.

Our STEMworks™ two-day, intensive teacher workshop focuses on developing students' critical thinking, collaboration and responsibility to a team through application of the engineering design process to solve problems. Teachers receive our STEMworks™ STEM Service-Learning Curriculum that includes the Tech Tools Guide, Community Resource Guide, College Toolkit, Engineering Design Process Student Toolkit, Oration Toolkit, Team Roles Toolkit, and Community Needs Cards.

Teachers are also given access to the following resources:

“With STEMworks™, students get to learn scientific concepts and at the same time they’re playing games. Activities are very hands-on.”
— May Richard, 10th grade Biology teacher, Keaau High School
