Innovation Station
(I.S.)
The Innovation Station (I.S.) is a 40ft portable shipping container that acts as a mobile classroom. Inside holds 3D printers, laser printers, and materials for STEM based projects, focusing on Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology, Physics, and Electricity. Unlike traditional STEM classes that offer only a one-day experience, the IS provides an immersive and sustained engagement of technology, empowering students and teachers to learn and experiment with the technologies inside. Each quarter the IS goes to various of schools, currently having two stops at Kahala and Keolu Elem. and is going to many more in the future!
Curriculums
The I.S. is developed with curriculums crafted by our team members and tested on the students at our Kalani Robotics Academy. Here are our curriculums!

Summer Work
Through the summer our team works endlessly, coming in every week to clean and prepare for the next upcoming schools. Through the summer we create new curriculums and improve the technologies inside, making sure they are the best for the teachers and students, while also writing how-to's for the teachers.
Training Sessions
During the school year our team members dedicate a whole day or week to miss school and go teach the teachers. Through this students teach an average of 62 teachers a session, showing them the maintenance, steps, and processes of the IS, allowing them to get adjusted easier. At the end of these training sessions student provide teachers with feedback on how they can incorporate this tech into their classes, providing what we know from our academies to them.
Maintenance
Finally, our team aids the teachers throughout the quarte coming in every other week for a check up and maintenance check. During this our members get to interact with the teachers and some of their students and see all of their amazing creations.
