8/29/16 Meeting With Our Kakaʻako
8/29/16 Meeting With Our Kakaʻako
One of my goals for the school year as advisor for our Entrepreneurship Club is to connect our students to Our Kakaʻako. Kamehameha Schools owns and manages 9 city blocks in Kakaʻako. There is incredible potential for innovative learning. However, there is a disconnect. I want to help to establish a connection by partnering with the great team at Our Kakaʻako.

Met with Aron and Mae, managers of Our Kakaʻako. They are awesome. They were open, welcoming, and very supportive. They would love to see more students engaged and involved with Our Kakaʻako. They have offered our club a table at the Honolulu Night Market (a hipster craft fair with food trucks and live entertainment.)

Part of this experience is to design an innovative project for oneʻs school community. This will change the scope of my initial goal.

I hope to connect our campus (and as many students and teachers to Our Kakaʻako.) I believe that the vehicle for doing this will be via school clubs. This would bring the least disruption to the school day.

I will also need to design a framework that can be replicated. Not sure what that will look like.

Created my first one. I was interested in a topic that could integrate science with Hawaiian culture and vocabulary. The concept of "indigenous wisdom" appealed to me.

Excited for TED-Ed Weekend coming up in just a few days! On Day 2, all of the TIEs will have two minutes each on the TED stage to pitch our project ideas. After working on tailoring my project to the specific needs (and context) of Kamehameha Schools, I have decided to make my pitch more replicable (and general) for the audience. I have changed the name from "SALT-Ed" to "Reimagine."

Here is our booth at the event. Our students sold wire & shell jewelry which they learned how to make in our Creative Metals class at school. Another student is a full-stack web developer who displayed his websites and passed out business cards. It was authentic, real-world learning, and it was a lot of fun.
