ANIMALS IN ART
\n<\/strong>This week, our artists learned about different art techniques and modes such as 3d and moveable art. They tried out various crafts like a butterfly spinner and jellyfish hanging mobile.\u00a0 Finally, we started on our final project for the class\u2014planning out and painting our shoebox habitat.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0023_Creative-Programming.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
CREATIVE PROGRAMMING WITH SCRATCH
\n<\/strong>This week in Creative Programming, we learned to use complex functions like operators, ands, and clones to make real, working video game demos. As we wrap up our lessons in using Scratch, we began prepping and coding our final projects for the end of the program.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0014_Creator-Space-Advanced.png?resize=64%2C71&ssl=1\")

MINECRAFT: A VIRTUAL LEARNING ADVENTURE
\n<\/strong>Our class has been exploring the geography and cultural places in Hawai\u02bbi. Students discussed what are important Hawaiian locations and why they’re significant\u2014including historic buildings, sacred sites, and stunning natural landmarks. Now that we are familiar with these locations, we are working together to recreate some these places in our virtual world.<\/p>\n![\"Passport](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP-2026-Icons_0008_Passport-to-Art.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\"){kind=icon}
PASSPORT TO ART
\n<\/span>This week, students explored artistic traditions from Africa through hands-on projects inspired by places such as Ghana and Kenya. They created Adinkra-inspired stamps to learn how symbols can communicate values and stories, practiced paper weaving inspired by Kente cloth while exploring the importance of patterns and textiles, and designed beaded jewelry using recycled paper as they learned about color and identity. Students also began researching a country of their choice to prepare their displays for our Open House “Art Around the World Museum.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0019_Robo-III-VEX.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
ROBOTICS WITH VEX<\/strong>
\nStudents visited NP complete problems that plague automation and robotics systems. They learned how the complexity of these grow at n! (n factorial) rate and how sometimes good enough is enough.<\/p>\n\n

SLEUTH ACADEMY FOR JR. DETECTIVES
\n<\/strong>This week’s theme: Trace Evidence.\u00a0 Our detectives
\n\u2013 Learned about the different types of trace evidence.
\n\u2013 Prepared slides and used microscopes to observe and compare trace materials (hair and fibers).
\n\u2013 Learned how trace evidence is used to solve crimes.<\/p>\n![\"STEAM](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SP-2026-Icons_0004_LEGO-Spike.png?resize=62%2C68&ssl=1\"){kind=icon}

UNDERSEA ECOLOGY
\n<\/strong>This week we continued learning about apex predators, and began learning about decomposers. To learn about decomposers, I brought in a conspicuous sea cucumber from Kane\u2019ohe. On Wednesday, we were able to go to the aquarium and connect what we\u2019ve learned in class to real life animals and plants.<\/p>\n
