Westside Teens Lead The Way
The results are in for Kupu and Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation’s Hawaiʻi Youth Sus- tainability Challenge, during which 18 student teams presented solutions to con- servation and sustainability challenges in their communities.
Kapolei High School, meanwhile, had two teams enter: One that aspires to in- crease the energy productivity of exist- ing solar panels, while the other focuses on tackling, reviving and saving existing forests in Palēhua, which is overtaken by invasive plants and animals.

UPCOMING
Of those who participated was Waipa- hu’s Hawaiʻi Technology Academy, which created “an intelligent and sustainable au- tonomous aquaponics system.”
“We were so excited to pilot a number of new initiatives this year ... and to see how students responded to these opportuni- ties,” states Elia Herman, senior program manager at Kupu. “Despite unprecedented challenges due the pandemic and other up- heaval in their lives, these students rose to the challenge and they give me hope that together we are building a more resilient Hawaiʻi.”

“Getting to work on real-world prob- lems rather than just classes has great- ly benefitted my learning as a student,” states HTA student Caden Brown. “Over the course of my project, I have developed many practical skills like grant writing, public speaking, computer-aided design and fabrication. Additionally, through the training sessions, I learned a lot about en- trepreneurship and starting a business.”
