CIFAL Honolulu-I Am A Scientist and Girl Scouts: Pacific Exploration in STEM
People
Background
About the Trip Learn all about the ocean, outer space, and environmental science at this Destination. Explore Polynesia and other cultures as we visit historical locations on the island of Oahu. Stay at our new Camp Paumalu STEM Center for Excellence located on the North Shore of Oahu. The spirit of aloha – being in the presence of and sharing the essence of life – teaches us lessons of peace, kindness, compassion and responsibility to future generations. These lessons are expressed through chant, music, hula, arts and cultural practices, and through the warm, genuine greetings that are a hallmark of Hawaiian hospitality. We tie these lessons in some of the STEM activities that we will be doing in studying earth, space and ocean science. CIFAL Honolulu and IAS hosted a molecular biology hands-on activity
