Bringing STEM on the Road to Keiki Across O'ahu!
Mission:
The mission of Pop-Up Lab for STEM (PULS) is to merge sustainability with STEM learning to help youth discover their potential in the fields while inspiring commitment to protect our Earth.
Philosophy:
Students need to discover the relevance of STEM to the complex environmental issues confronting our planet and acquire the skills they'll need to become the innovators, educators, and conservationists of their generation.
We bring our mobile STEM lab to schools/youth organizations across O'ahu!

Programming Opportunities with PULS
We will "pop up" at any school, youth center, and public areas all across Oʻahu.
Unlike a traditional outreach program. PULS stays for extended periods of time to enable students to dig deep into place-based STEM learning. Our Units are scaffolding, multi-lesson units.
-
Open to students grades Pre-K to 6th
-
Variety of sustainability-based lessons
-
All resources are provided
PULS offers two pop-up services:
Mobile Lab Pop-Up
We bring our mobile lab to the site and teach in our outside classroom/lab setting. This option work well when:
-
The mobile lab is available
-
The campus can accommodate the Lab
-
Serving a large segment of the student body
Classroom Pop-Up
We teach in the classroom with our PULS-in-a-Box. We still teach our multi-lesson/visit unit. This option works well when:
-
The mobile lab is already reserved
-
The campus cannot accommodate the Lab
-
Serving a small segment of the student body
PULS offers an autonomous teaching opportunity for teachers. PULS-in-a-Box brings our hands-on STEM instruction straight to your classroom. You can borrow from any of our engaging lab units - each delivered in a ready-to-use kit.
Each box includes the lesson plan, video teaching tutorials, and lab supplies.
PULS can join in outreach events when campus or in the community.
PULS tailor makes our interactive, hands-on STEM labs to fit the event.
