How might we design science kits rooted in cultural and ancestral knowledge unique to Hawai’i? There is no shortage of kits shipped here, but a lack of homegrown kits centering ancestral innovation and local natural materials. If we can develop Hawaiian place based science kits, we will uplift Hawaiian frameworks for solving our unique environmental challenges.

We will develop biomaterial and frugal science kits useful to grow trust spaces for local science innovation conversations.
