Game Design
The Life of Soul
Jun Hyung Lee, Mason Solmonson, Robert Dempsey
Kealakehe High School

“This game, “The Life of Soul”, focuses on the problem of self-centering that many people face today. Empathy for others is extremely important in a healthy community, and in Hawaii, empathy extends even further into a cultural importance. Without empathy, we all become bitter to each other, and we cannot understand the feelings of others. This game places you into the shoes of a self-centered robot named Servo, who is taught an important lesson about truth, love, and sacrificing yourself for others. This game is meant to bring out the Aloha spirit within our community, which as begun to fade. We need empathy in our community right now, more than ever before. This game is incredibly difficult, and the player WILL feel the struggles of Servo. Sometimes they will even have to restart the game in order to pass a hard-lock .”

 

 

Music 
Retro
Emma Rich
King Kekaulike High School

“This groovy tune is about keeping what is good around. The values we as a society have, have changed a lot. The song references how we should keep things “retro” and live life out looking and seeking what should be most important.”

 

Photography
Kiley Kochi
King Kekaulike High School

“These photos show how students at King Kekaulike utilize STEM in action. We are able to inspire, create, and learn in many hands on ways. In Science we are able to test theories and build conclusions with different labs and experiments. Technology allows us to explore ideas thru programs like GIS mapping. With engineering we can be creative by building and constructing new things. Math is used in our everyday lives in many different ways. STEM lets us express our imagination in various ways.”

 

T-Shirt Design
Logan Tsukiyama
Maui Waena Intermediate School

“My shirt design is of a light bulb that is made up of smaller, individual bubbles, each containing an example of how STEM is used everyday around the world. Although each circle represents a different and distinct aspect of STEM, they all come together to form one larger picture - a light bulb. This design is also symbolic of all the different types of individuals at the STEM conference, each with a diverse background, coming together to contribute to the larger picture - the future. The slogan “STEM is the light of the future” reflects the vision that STEM will be widely integrated into our individual lives and our community at large to make a brighter tomorrow.”
