‘Ike Ea on the Leeward Coast of Oahu
Tech Together - (Wed) December 2, 2009
The ‘Ike Ea Program continued its goal of teaching
Engineering and Electronics on two leeward coast schools. The ‘Ike Ea teaching
team taught at Nanakuli Elementary School and Ka Waihona ‘O Ka Na’auao Public
Charter School on September 19 to 29 and October 3 to 19, respectively. Daily
hands-on activities such as, popsicle stick bridge building with a 50 lbs. load
test, egg drop, circuits and model house wiring, helped reinforce the concepts
learned during the lecture part of the course. A total of five classes with 128
students on both schools participated in the program. Students were recognized
with their efforts with a certificate and goody bags. The students also
showcased their projects during the scheduled family at the last day of each
schools session.
