About

“Kalani Falconeers is a company founded by a group of high school students from Kalani High School in the Engineering pathway. Our company aims to spread the aloha spirit throughout Oahu by selling Christmas ornaments that families can hang on their trees. These products are assembled by hand but manufactured using advanced laser cutters. We target both locals and tourists who have a fond memory of Hawaii. Our product is made by individual high school students who are highly trained in computer-aided design and use laser cutting machines, ensuring high-quality manufactured products.”
