In geographically remote locations
such as the Hawaiian Islands, underrepresented populations in
the fields of science and technology (native Hawaiian and low
income) face an even stronger disadvantage in the accessibility
of meaningful and engaging learning opportunities that will
promote the pursuit of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics) careers among its youth. As an answer to this challenge,
The Office of Naval Research (ONR), Akimeka LLC, Maui Economic
Opportunity (MEO) and Maui Community College partnered in 2004
to establish the Hawaii Source Education Outreach program (formerly
known as the Maui Digital Bus) on the island of Maui. The mission
of this program is to encourage interest in science and technology
among these underrepresented student populations in grades K-12.
This in turn serves ONR’s education outreach goal in working
to develop the next generation of scientists capable of developing
and supporting critical technologies for the Department of Defense.

The Hawaii Source Education Outreach program (HSEO) supports this mission through 3 primary objectives: offering a state-of-the-art mobile learning platform; offering place-based science projects to K-12 students that incorporate high technology and meet the Department of Education Hawaii Content and Performance Standards (HCPS); and ensuring long-term impact via educator professional development opportunities. |
