Description:
All high school students from Oʻahu schools are welcome to participate in this hack-a-thon. This hack will work to build practical experience in using the Design Thinking method to create solutions for sustainability challenges facing our local community.
Students will learn about our Hack-a-thon partner, Camp Pālehua, a pu’uhonua or safe space for learning where a deepened understanding of the ‘āina awakens a desire for stewardship in our community and beyond. The organization will have an opportunity to describe their work and articulate a few key issues and challenges.
Students will break into groups to collaborate in creating possible solutions to the challenges. Students will then 'pitch back' to experts and coaches for feedback. Teams with sustainable solutions may have the opportunity to implement their ideas with Camp Pālehua through possible internships or service learning hours.
