The Hawai鈥榠 Keiki Museum strives to provide children with a hands-on exploration of STEAM concepts to apply to fulfilling careers on the Big Island. This year, the Clinic team designed a museum exhibit based on an arcade reaction game that combines cacao harvesting knowledge and fundamental machine learning principles. High school students in Hawai鈥榠 are using the design instructions to build a museum-ready exhibit while strengthening their own STEAM skill sets.
