HIMB has developed a series of high school lessons that uses Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and telepresence technology to explore the coral reefs of K?ne‘ohe Bay. The AUV was developed for HIMB by engineers at the MIT Sea Grant AUV Lab. Science content relates to water quality, reef biodiversity, and threats to coral reefs. Teachers can also utilize each set of lesson materials independently of the AUV. Lessons introduce science topics and describe how to conduct transect-quadrat investigations and estimate basic diversity statistics, or analyze water quality data. If you are a teacher interested in the Reef Mission project for your science class, please contact us via email. Or, if you would like to use our lesson modules in your own classroom independent of the AUV, they can be downloaded here:

The short film He Wa?a He Moku He Moku He Wa?a was produced in a partnership with Polynesian Voyaging Society, The Nature Conservancy and Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument and World Heritage Site. The goal of this film is to help introduce wa?a (canoe) values, to students and teachers in Hawai?i. These values, essential to open ocean voyaging, translate well to ways we should live on our islands, and on this planet. The title, translated in English, means: The Canoe is an Island and the Island is a Canoe. He Wa?a He Moku He Moku He Wa?a serves as a tool to introduce how we can conserve limited resources, care for one another, understand our individual responsibilities, and seek knowledge to find our way as a community, on land and in the ocean. Students and teachers who adopt these values in their classrooms will find that a journey of learning is less dependent on rules and regulations, and more reliant on a shared value system that promotes individual and group growth and nurturing.
