In the spring of 2021, we launched EngineeringHI, an academic mentorship program connecting our engineering undergraduate mentors with students at James B. Castle High School in Kaneohe to provide STEM support and 1:1 peer coaching. This pilot program was made possible by a generous grant from the Harold KL Castle Foundation, and has now continued thanks to support from GEAR UP Hawai’i and the Soar Higher grant. We have since expanded the program to serve students at Castle’s feeder school, King Intermediate, providing support at both sites both inside and outside of the classroom.
Are you an educator at Castle High School or King Intermediate School who would like to request in-class support from our team or set up a special activity/college visit? Email us at ehiteam@hawaii.edu.
