Ocean FEST & Ocean TECH: Geoscience for Hawaii's Future

夏威夷大学Ocean FEST（家庭一起探索科学）和Ocean TECH（技术扩展职业视野）项目旨在使用地球系统科学方法提高海洋学和相关地球科学领域的素养，并激励夏威夷的学生（其中大多数来自代表性不足的群体）从事地球科学事业。该项目正在开展一系列社区活动，让夏威夷的初中、高中和社区大学的学生及其家人参与到以海洋为主题的实践科学活动中来，这些活动利用了美国国家科学基金会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、夏威夷海洋生物学和海岸地质研究所的最新技术。该项目的其他目标集中在展示各种与文化相关的地球科学职业，并促进与夏威夷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名志愿者和约120名教育工作者。

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.
