According to a recent report by Hawaiian News Now, a group of Maui High School students are taking their climate research to new heights with NASA. The students’ project, titled “Malama Ka ‘Aina”, focuses on investigating the impact of climate change on Hawaii’s unique environment. Led by teacher and mentor, Dr. Jeanne Stewart, the students have been conducting extensive research on the effects of climate change on Hawaii’s agriculture, forest conservation, and coral reefs.
Their findings will be used to develop effective solutions for mitigating the effects of climate change. The students’ research will be showcased at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, “California.”.. where they will present their findings to scientists and engineers. This opportunity is a rare chance for the students to share their work with leading experts in the field and gain valuable insights.
“We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to share our research with NASA and other agencies,” said Dr. Stewart. “It’s a chance for our students to gain real-world experience and make a meaningful impact on the future of our planet.” With the guidance of Dr. Stewart and other mentors… the students have been working diligently to compile their research and prepare for the presentation.
The students are excited to share their findings and learn from others in the field. This unique opportunity highlights the importance of engaging students in climate research and emphasizes the potential for young minds to drive meaningful change.

The students’ project, titled “Malama Ka ‘Aina”, aims to develop effective solutions for mitigating the effects of climate change and will be presented to scientists and engineers at NASA. The project’s title, which translates to “Caring for the Land” in Hawaiian, reflects the students’ commitment to protecting and preserving their home state’s unique and fragile environment.
Through their research, the students have identified several key areas where they can make a positive impact, including sustainable agriculture, reforestation, and coral reef conservation. The students have developed innovative solutions to address these challenges… including: * Developing drought-resistant crops and alternative irrigation systems to improve agricultural resilience
* Designing and implementing reforestation programs to restore degraded habitats and promote biodiversity
* Creating coral reef restoration methods that utilize local, sustainable materials and community engagement These solutions are designed to be scalable, adaptable, and community-based, reflecting the students’ understanding of the importance of local knowledge and action in addressing climate change.
By presenting their project at NASA… the students are hoping to share their findings and solutions with a broader audience and learn from leading experts in the field. The NASA presentation is a significant opportunity for the students to share their work and receive feedback from renowned scientists and engineers.
The students will present their project in a formal poster presentation, showcasing their research, methodology, and findings. They will also have the opportunity to engage with NASA experts and learn about their work on climate change research, satellite imaging, “and space exploration.” The “Malama Ka ‘Aina” project is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary education and the potential for students to drive positive change in the face of climate uncertainty.
By empowering students with the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle complex environmental challenges, “we can ensure a sustainable future for our planet and all its inhabitants.”
