Hawaiʻi high school, college students and K-12 teachers are invited to apply for a new, free Summer Research Institute designed to spark innovation in agriculture, environmental sustainability, food systems, fashion and family and community resilience.
The eight-week program, offered by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience (CTAHR), runs from June 9 to August 1, and is open to students from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi Island, Kauaʻi, Maui and Molokaʻi. Participants can access programming at CTAHR facilities on their home island. They will work alongside UH faculty mentors to build research-based solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing Hawaiʻi and the world.
"This new program is specifically created to provide high school, community college and undergraduate students the real-world skills, and prepare them for the next stage of their lives," said CTAHR Dean Parwinder Grewal. "We invite students to explore this new opportunity to contribute to society and to advance their careers."
In addition to student tracks, the Summer Research Institute also offers a teacher development track for educators who want to strengthen their teaching in areas such as agriculture, food, family and environmental education.
