The University of Hawai'i Ocean FEST (Families Exploring Science Together) and Ocean TECH (Technology Expands Career Horizons) project is designed to improve literacy in oceanography and related geoscience fields using an Earth system science approach and inspire Hawaii's students, most of whom are from underrepresented groups, to pursue geoscience careers. The project is conducting a series of community-based events to engage Hawai'ian middle, high school, and community college students and their families in hands-on, ocean-themed science activities that leverage research data from the NSF-funded Center for Microbial Oceanography, Research and Education (C-MORE) and Hawai'ian Ocean Time-series (HOT) program, as well as state-of-the-art technologies from the University of Hawai'i, Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology and Coastal Geology. Additional objectives of the project are focused on showcasing a variety of culturally-relevant geoscience careers and fostering collaborations with Hawaii's geoscience-related businesses. The project is expected to impact 3,600 participants, 240 volunteers, and approximately 120 educators.

夏威夷大学海洋节（家庭一起探索科学）和海洋技术（技术扩大职业视野）项目旨在提高海洋学和相关地球科学领域的识字率，使用地球系统科学方法，并激励夏威夷的学生，其中大多数来自代表性不足的群体，追求地球科学职业。 该项目正在进行一系列以社区为基础的活动，让夏威夷初中，高中和社区大学的学生及其家庭参与动手，海洋为主题的科学活动，这些活动利用了NSF资助的微生物海洋学，研究和教育中心（C-MORE）和夏威夷海洋时间序列（HOT）计划的研究数据，以及夏威夷大学的最先进技术，夏威夷海洋生物学和海岸地质学研究所。 该项目的其他目标是集中展示各种与文化相关的地球科学职业，并促进与夏威夷的地球科学相关企业的合作。 该项目预计将影响3 600名参与者、240名志愿者和大约120名教育工作者。
