“I am a Scientist” participated in the Hawaii DOE, Honolulu District STEM Exposition. Where an estimated 6,000 Elementary and Middle School students participated over 5 days at Kaimuki High School.
CUH alumni Caitlyn Tobita, Ho`oulu Scholar Hulali Kinilau, and CUH Professor Dr. Chrystie Naeole, helped students conduct experiments to understand the properties of density and why its easier to float in the ocean than in freshwater. Students also used micro pipettors to learn the density of different liquids.
Freshman Lina Tiaseu and Dr. Edna Monroe, Professor and Chief Nurse Administrator of the School of Nursing brought tools of their profession for students to use and learn about health and science.
Students were eager to use the stethoscopes, pulse oximeters and blood pressure cuffs to learn about their health and wellness.
"I Am A Scientist STEM" is a mobile outreach program that shares our labs beyond the Chaminade University campus. Our services are FREE to Hawaii DOE schools. IAS STEM is part of a broader initiative by the Division of Natural Sciences & Mathematics at Chaminade University to encourage science awareness and education in Hawaii's public schools.
