CREATE… BUILD… EXPLORE… LEARN
Aloha Kids is a STEM enrichment program bringing hands-on engineering and building workshops to homeschool co-ops and communities throughout Central Oahu. Our mission is to make STEM education accessible, engaging, and fun for children ages 4-12 through creative building challenges and problem-solving activities.
About Aloha Kids
Aloha Kids was founded by an experienced educator with over 20 years in elementary education, literacy coaching, and STEM instruction. As a former classroom teacher and instructional specialist, I saw firsthand how hands-on engineering experiences transform children's confidence and problem-solving abilities.
I created Aloha Kids to bring structured, high-quality STEM enrichment directly to Central Oahu communities - because your children deserve access to hands-on education close to home.
What makes our approach different:
Our workshops aren't just "free play with LEGO." Every session follows research-based teaching methods designed for how young children actually learn:
Sequential skill-building - Students progress through foundational concepts before tackling complex challenges
Hands-on discovery - Kids learn by doing, experimenting, and problem-solving together
Developmentally appropriate - Activities are carefully designed for specific age groups (4-6 and 6-12)
Collaborative learning - Group challenges help children develop both technical skills and social confidence
Aloha Kids workshops are designed specifically for homeschool co-ops and community groups because these collaborative environments help children thrive. Your child will leave each session not just having built something cool - but having learned real engineering concepts they can apply to future challenges.
As a military family member myself, I understand the unique needs of Central Oahu's diverse community. Aloha Kids is committed to making STEM education accessible, affordable, and convenient for all families.
