Abstract

This paper shares findings from two summer classes that engage different maker technologies in support of rural Hawaiian youth's rightful presence (Calabrese-Barton & Tan, 2019) and consequential learning (Hall & Jurow, 2015). Through engagement with technology and computing rural Hawaiian youth explored localized botany and astronomy science content. By coding apps and computational circuits, students were able to bridge preexisting gaps between their own interest and knowledge and those they experienced in their classrooms.
