This year, the iReady Students had their tuition and books paid for by the federally funded University of P-20 initiative… the students got their college credits for free!!! The iReady program is an excellent way for students to become familiar with the rigor of college level work, college requirements, and most importantly, deadlines that the professor establishes. The iReady class provides the student face-to-face support and computer access to complete the college course assignments during the school day on the Leilehua school campus. Based on information from our former iReady students, all college credits earned through the iReady class were accepted to the colleges they are currently attending, both local and mainland schools.

Need more information or an application?

Summer Engineering Academy

Summer Engineering Academy, or SEA, is an intensive summer program that offers the student the opportunity to learn, to think, and problem-solve like an engineer. Students will apply their knowledge of math and science to practical projects, and see concepts they learned in high school classrooms come alive. Through lab work, group projects, lectures and assignments, you'll learn how engineers approach real-world problems. The students will meet other students with similar interests and collaborate on testing theories and find solutions to engineering problems.

We are currently planning to explore the engineering fields related to micro-robotics,microprocessor programing, and 3-D printing. All these engineering disciplines just so that we can create micro-robots that will be competing with others for a robotics competition. You will have to design, build and program a micro- bot that is 1 cubic centimeter, and a 1 cubic inch maze solving robot.

Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Product Engineering, Mechatronics, are the primary engineering fields that will be explored. Ever wonder how they made that thing move, or how they fit everything into that small a body? That is what engineering is all about. Engineers make things work and fit where they need to go.

As students complete SEA projects on materials, structures, chemical processes, circuit design, computer programming, robotics, and other topics, they will gain insights into which engineering fields best match their abilities and interests. These modules will be two weeks in length and 4 hours long each day. Students will rotate through each module.

Students will also take a college success class to prepare them for entry into the University System. This class is designed to orient students to the college setting. Students will be able to identify campus resources, demonstrate knowledge of c o l l e g e procedures, discuss definition of success and evaluate their important life roles. Students will attend this course during the 3rd week of the program. Prerequisites are completion of geometry, completion of physics, or chemistry or biology and basic computer skills.

Imagine you are Matt Damon in "The Martian," trapped on Mars with no way home -- or a member of Apollo 13, scrambling to save your crew with only the scant materials HONOLULU on board the ship. These are the kinds of almost-impossible tasks engineers have to deal with every day. Through this course, you will learn how to tackle that kind of COMMUNITY problem solving, as well as the basics of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical COLLEGE Engineering, Computer Programming, including electronics, prototyping, writing code and more as you explore what makes the world around you move and function. 874 Dillingham Blvd
