Students are challenged to use independent and cooperative learning, critical thinking, following directions, imagination and creativity. These activities include crafts, origami, playing the piano, Keiki engineering, coding, movie making, etc. E komo mai! Welcome to our Hiʻilei Media Center's Makerspace!
Here are pictures and videos of students coming in during recess to complete a "KEIKI ENGINEERING" kit with some guidance from Mrs. Redona our K-3 Library Media Specialist. Most kits involve learning about electrical wires, circuits, gears, and using a variety of tools such as a screw driver.

As the K-3 Library Media Specialist, Mrs. Redona showed students what a Rube Goldberg machine looks like, and talked about pulleys, inclines, lever, and other simple machines. Students researched and posted information they found online onto a padlet, click here to see their findings. She then challenged her students to pop a balloon with at least three chain reactions/simple machines with a specific set of materials. These are photos and videos of the learning that took place during the Great Maker Challenge for grade 3. Click Here
