The session will cover their background, defining computational thinking, intersection of culture and technology, challenges and opportunities, community and collaboration, ethics and indigenous data sovereignty, innovative applications, educational pathways and mentorship, looking to the future, personal inspirations and influences, and a call to action.

All instructional faculty can and would benefit from attending as these skills can be integrated into every possible course and program (academic, non-academic, and CTE).

Exploring Fear Halloween Exhibit

Oct. 24-27

Exploring Fear Halloween Exhibit

A sensory-based S.T.E.M. experience for older students and families.

This Halloween, Cognition Learning Center (Cogs) at Kauaʻi Community College would like to present a sensory based walkthrough experience for the public. The Cogs mission is to inspire and encourage inquiry, exploration, and hands-on learning to excite students of all ages. Inspired by The San Francisco Exploratorium and other museum exhibits like Goose bumps at The California Science Center, Cogs has hosted a few S.T.E.M. based walkthroughs on campus at Kauaʻi Community College. This past year we hosted one in the theme of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory and ran it as a field trip opportunity for the younger students in our community. In line with our mission of servicing students of all ages, the Exploring Fear Exhibit would provide a modern type haunted house experience targeted for the older students (teens, tweens and college students) and the general public.
