1 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES & OUTREACH TMT supports a number of educational initiatives to help prepare Hawaii Island students for science and technology jobs. THE HAWAII ISLAND NEW KNOWLEDGE (THINK) FUND The Thirty Meter Telescope initiated the formation of THINK Fund in 2008 by asking a group of community volunteers to outline the mission, vision, purpose and implementation strategy of an education fund benefitting Hawaii Island students. The Organizing Committee that developed TMT's THINK Fund structure was comprised of Hawaii Island residents. TMT officially launched the THINK Fund in October 2014 to better prepare Hawaii Island students to master STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and to become the workforce for higher paying science and technology jobs in Hawaii's 21 st century economy. TMT's THINK Fund initiative benefits Hawaii Island students pursuing STEM endeavors with an annual contribution of $1 million over its existing 19-year Maunakea sublease with the -Hilo. Two Hawaii foundations, Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) and Pauahi Foundation, were selected by TMT to administer THINK Fund distribution in scholarship and grant making platforms. TMT's annual $1 million contribution allocates $750,000 to THINK Fund at the Hawaii Community Foundation and $250,000 to THINK Fund at the Pauahi Foundation. The foundations will administer their respective THINK Funds independently and will have autonomy in administering grant funds, determining scholarship recipients, and the selection and governance of Advisory Committees. To date, TMT has distributed $3.5 million: $2.5 million to THINK at HCF and $1 million to the Pauahi Foundation. Among the programs supported by the THINK Fund at HCF: Akamai Workforce Initiative Internship Program Big Island Invasive Species Committee Teacher Professional Development for Place-based, Inquiry-driven Instruction Boys and Girls Club of the Big Island Akeakamai Aloha Aina Friends of Connections School Integrating STEM Education through Project-Based Learning Friends of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge Teaching Change Friends of the Future Earl s Garage Girl Scouts of Hawai i STEM Program 1

AKAMAI INTERNSHIP PROGRAM TMT is a cornerstone supporter of the Akamai Workforce Initiative, which provides college students with summer internships at observatories and other high-tech companies in Hawaii. The goal of the program is to advance Hawaii college students in STEM and increase underrepresented groups. Each student is matched with a mentor and is integrated as a member of the mentor's group with daily guidance. Akamai mentors are prepared to provide an experience that will support their intern s persistence in STEM, while they complete a real project valued by their host organization, through a unique mentor workshop. The careful attention to mentoring, the preparatory course, and an ongoing communication course, are important elements of the program and have been key to the program s success. 2
3 Since launching in 2003, more than 350 college students have participated in the Akamai program and at least 150 alumni are now working in science and technology jobs, with nearly two-thirds of them working in Hawaii and contributing to the local STEM workforce. Akamai accepts college students from Hawaii (80% graduated from a Hawaii high school or were born in Hawaii), and a key objective is to increase the participation of underrepresented and underserved populations in STEM. So far, the Akamai Workforce Initiative alumni demographics include 36% women, 25% Native Hawaiian, and 47% underrepresented minorities. To learn more about the summer internship program, go to The Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory has become Akamai s cornerstone supporter. This year, funding is also provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, National Solar Observatory, Hawaii STEM Learning Partnership at Hawaii Community Foundation (with support from multiple sources, including the THINK Fund and the Maunakea Fund), and the National Science Foundation. Akamai is managed by the Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators at University of California, Santa Cruz. EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM SUPPORT In conjunction with the at Hilo (UHH), Hawaiʻi Community College (HCC) and the Department of Education, TMT will form and sustain a Workforce Pipeline Program that will lead to a highly qualified pool of local workers. Currently, the project funds, supports and participates in programs that are committed to helping Hawaii Island students achieve success at becoming self-directed, lifelong learners who think critically and creatively and function as caring, responsible, productive members of society. These programs include or have included: Camp Imiloa Summer Science Rocks! Program After-School Science Program: Science Rocks! After-school science program targeting grades 4 through 6. The program's goals are to: Introduce basic science concepts in physics, chemistry, engineering and technology through interactive demonstrations and activities that challenge students to think of explanations. Integrate basic math that "grounds" the science concepts learned. Create experiences that inspire students to search out more knowledge, ask more questions, and seek their own answers. Help students acquire a solid background in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills. Develop critical thinking skills and creativity. (Girls Exploring Math & Science) Girls Exploring Math and Science -- GEMS -- is an annual day of discovery for West Hawaii's fifth grade girls. Through hands-on exhibits and workshops led by local professional women, students use math, science and technology in myriad ways to explore their worlds, stimulate interest and bolster confidence. 3
4 BrushBot Robotics Workshop for Teachers Big Island elementary, middle and high school teachers attended free BrushBot Robotics workshop sponsored by the Thirty Meter Telescope and the `Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii. Workshop was facilitated by the award winning Waiakea High School Robotics Club led by teacher advisors, Dale Olive and Eric Hagiwara. Journey Through the Universe Family Science Day and Astronomy Educators in the Classroom Hilo-Waiakea Complex Area Schools Reaching an annual average of 7,000 students in 380 classrooms Journey through the Universe is a National initiative that includes local programs for thousands of students and families and includes grade K-12 lessons and curriculum support materials, teacher training, and ongoing teacher support in science content and education. The Journey program brings together local students and teachers with astronomers and engineers who share their passion and knowledge for science and technology and inspires local students to reach for the stars. Hilo is currently only one of 10 communities around the nation that is designated as a Journey through the Universe site. Astro Day AstroDay coincides with Astronomy Day, an international movement to share the joy of astronomy - "Bringing Astronomy to the People." AstroDay in Hilo features over 40 exhibits, demonstrations and activity areas and musical performance throughout Prince Kuhio Plaza.
