On the beautiful Islands of Hawai’i, our students traveled everywhere from beaches with sand as black as night to dormant volcanoes. They partook in many challenging and exciting activities, including beach cleanups, stargazing, dissections, volunteering at festivals, removing invasive plant species, making electrical devices from scratch and even exploring underground lava tubes and underwater reefs!
