We had a BLAST at Star Party Space Night! Families and students contributed to our Mars habitat community while also coding robots to save astronauts and building paper helicopters. Check out some of the designs that students created! Thanks Hokulani Elementary for allowing us to be part of this awesome family night!

Check out the awesome designs participants created for our Mars habitat community at the IFA open house! You’ll never run out of things to do on Mars if these designs made it to the red planet

We’re celebrating all the amazing teachers, coaches, and mentors for their time and dedication to their students this season! With over 250 Hawaii teams across the islands, it truly takes a village of supporters to guide our students.

At the Hawaii Regional Championships, we recognized the following as the Mentors of the Year:
- Kumu Alicia Hui and Coach Jodi (Haili Christian School)
- Summer Cretton (Pukalani Elementary)
- Scott Kaz (Niu Valley Middle)
- (not pictured) Tyron Hamamoto (Campbell HS)

Mahalo to Hawaiian Electric, Ewa Makai Middle School, and Makaha Elementary School for their support!

pre-service teachers got to play around with VEX 123 robots and designed their own engineering project! These teachers will be beginning their student teaching next year and are well equipped with robotics knowledge to bring to their classrooms

Computer science starts early with robotics program going to Hawai’i island schools! Through grant funding, teachers walked away with a VEX123 kit, resources, lessons, and a network of robotics opportunities and ideas today

Mahalo for allowing the use of your facility

A bit late... but Happy 2024 and from all of us at HSGC & HSFL good luck in the New Year!!!

Hawaii VRC Championships qualified 7 high and middle school teams for the World Championships in Dallas, TX.

Come down to Meet at Magic island today! We got robots, NASA tattoos, and a linkage building station!

15 teachers learned how to integrate Computer Science and Robotics into their classroom curriculum. They created fun and engaging projects for their students to do. Each received a VEX 123 bundle and will now try it with their students. Can’t wait to see what projects and lessons they will come up with for their students!

Registration is open for the 22nd annual Astronaut Lacy Veach Day of Discovery! This is a free STEM event for students, parents, and teachers. Come and learn at our many workshops and exhibits.

We’re here at the Kamehameha Schools, Kapālama Women’s Career day to share STEM opportunities for students!

Just some of the highlights from the annual Institute for Astronomy (IFA) Open House that was hosted in Mānoa this past Sunday. It featured over two dozen different science themed projects for audience of all ages to enjoy. Activities included soaring soda bottle rocket pumps, cute little CubeSats, endless gravity well vacuums, our very own Create & Code robot station, and so much more... 🔭

Mahalo to all the undergraduate researchers from the UH System campuses that presented their space-based projects this past Saturday, April 22, 2023, in POST 723. It was great to finally put name to faces and to see all the solid progress you have made throughout this semester. 🤙

Why was the robot tired after it came home from work?
...He had a HARD DRIVE 🙃

Thank you we'll be here all Robotics Week!🤖

2023 Japan Cup has come to an end. 9 Hawaii teams represented well and competed alongside teams from Japan and India! New friendships made and old friendships continue to flourish. Mahalo for awarding HSGC with the Partner of the Year award
