The Tech Together: Ke Ao Nei
Program recently concluded two classes with 54 sixth grade students at
Waimanalo Elementary and Intermediate
School . A special modified program was designed to fit 50
minutes of daily instruction over ten days, with classes beginning on February
19th. Teachers Dawn Shin and Kurt Kmett worked with each student to cover
concepts in energy transformation, energy use, and conservation, with hands-on
projects using renewable energy such as hydroelectric power, wind power, and
biofuel. Each student was able to build their own solar oven and solar powered
cars. Classes concluded on March 10, 2010 with a discussion highlighting
careers and an ‘ohana night where students shared the concepts learned with
family members.
