On September 30, we welcomed 60 students from Waipahu Intermediate School to Kapiʻolani Community College for a special presentation of STEM learning and exploration.
Students participated in three 45-minute rotating workshops, where they learned about our STEM program, the opportunities we offer, and the pathways available for future STEM majors. Each workshop was designed to be interactive, hands-on, and fun—giving students a true taste of what STEM at Kapiʻolani is all about.
One highlight of the day was our rocket activity, where students took on the role of rocket scientists. They designed and built their own rockets, then launched them in a friendly competition. The excitement and creativity filled the room as students tested their engineering skills and cheered each other on.
We are proud to partner with schools like Waipahu Intermediate to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. Mahalo to the teachers, staff, and students who joined us—we look forward to continuing to share the possibilities of STEM at Kapiʻolani Community College.
