For whom do we do it For Maui’s students’ pre-K to college, families with school aged children, teens, adults and seniors, residents and visitors alike. How we do it In partnership with Maui’s students, teachers and communities of learning, we provide an extension of the classroom on-line with meaningful learning materials and in an historical setting, using authentic objects and hands on activities along with guided instruction and question and answer techniques to encourage critical thinking. We strive to align our content to State of Hawaii Department of Education benchmarks, and remove barriers that would otherwise deny access to learning. Why we do it To create an awareness of the influence of the sugar industry on the island, and the legacy it left behind, which is evident today in its people and landscape; to make connections between the past and present; to create a deeper understanding of the history of Maui, and to instill a passion for lifelong learning beyond the classroom.
