Kaulele Hawaiian Indigenous Pop-Up Science Center: Kapa Exhibit Evaluation

September 15th, 2022 | EVALUATION

The Kaulele Kapa Exhibit was created to explore the effectiveness of a Hawaiian culture-based framework and approach in increasing learner engagement and depth of knowledge in STEM among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NHPI) learners. The exhibit utilized hands-on and interactive activities, coupled with scientific and cultural information, to create relevant learning experiences for these communities.  To determine the effectiveness, exhibit attendees were invited to complete a survey that asked about how the exhibit influenced their interest and understanding of STEM and Hawaiian culture, as well as collected feedback to inform the iterative process of refining the exhibit.
