SUMMER PROGRAMS 2008

The Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa continues a thirty-eight-year tradition of enrichment learning through its Summer Programs for students entering grades 3–12. Led by a highly qualified team of teachers, students begin their exploration and discovery in the classroom and laboratory, but quickly move outdoors into the field where they become researchers and practitioners. Using inquiry-based learning, students problem solve to design projects, collect and analyze data, and make conclusions about the world around them.

A designated STEM program for elementary and middle school students, CRDG Summer Programs offers courses in physical and natural science, graphic design, electronics, and robotics, as well as performing arts, Japanese language and culture, and driver’s education. Supervised areas before school, during lunch and recess, and immediately after school insure safe learning and play.
