“While at the lab, students are off computers and screens. The focus of each lesson is a hands-on lab ac- tivity, such as building, cre- ating, measuring, dissecting, monitoring and more.”
Since October 2019, PULS has visited 41 sites, reaching more than 4,600 students and logging more than 22,000 student lab hours. In 2023, PULS reached more than 1,000 students all across O‘ahu, from Mākaha Ele- mentary School to Kaiser High School and across the Ko‘olau Mountains to Kailua and Waimānalo.

“I hope these students come to understand how global environmental issues have local relevance that they can help solve, which can help livelihoods and Hawai‘i’s way of life,” she says. “I hope they can ac- knowledge their role in the future of our planet as deci- sion-makers, entrepreneurs, policy makers, scientists and more, and will be responsi-
ble for our resources.”
