My Project

The requested materials, such as popsicle sticks and corrugated cardboard cutters, will significantly enhance student learning by providing diverse and engaging resources. These items will allow students to actively participate in hands-on experiences that deepen their understanding of civil engineering concepts, engineering design, planning, and construction. Moreover, they will foster teamwork and collaboration as students work in groups to tackle challenges together.

The goal of this project is not only to teach students about engineering principles but also to instill skills in planning and collaboration.

I believe that these experiences will empower them to think critically and creatively, which are essential skills for their future.

My students are from the Kalihi area, an urban community located west of downtown Honolulu. This area has a large immigrant population that continues to grow, and more than 70% of my students come from low-income families. Despite these challenges, my students display remarkable resilience and creativity, making them truly special. They are eager to learn and thrive when provided with opportunities that engage their interests and aspirations.
