Welcome. We teach hands-on science to kids. We show kids how to become creative, inventive and entrepreneurial through our Kids Invent program. In our hands-on science classes, kids invent toys. We are a high-enrichment after-school program offered to public and private schools in Hawaii. In our classes, students use concepts of science and technology to invent toys and games. Kids learn all of this while having fun!

The Hawaii Children's Discovery Center provides a world-class, interactive, participatory learning environment designed to inspire the young and "young-at-heart" to new heights of learning and discovery.

 Aloha and welcome to the Kalakaua Marine Education Center at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.  The Center operates the UHH sailing and motor vessels, including our flagship, the R/V Four Winds, and coordinates the field activities of the Marine Option Program and the Marine Science Summer Program, including the innovative course in coral reef research techniques (QUEST).  The Center supports the Marine Science Department, which offers a well-rounded degree in the marine sciences, and is working toward establishing a field station at Puako on the Kona side of the island of Hawaii.  The Center is also a partner in the Marine Science Language Exchange Program between the U.S. and the European Union.
