After two years of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Leeward Community College<\/a> invites the community back to its Puʻuloa<\/span> (Pearl City) Campus for the 32nd annual Discovery Fair<\/a> on Saturday, November 5, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Admission, activities and parking are free.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Discovery Fair features new cultural activities including Hawaiian Makahiki games, such as ʻulu<\/span> maika (rolling stone disks), moa paheʻe<\/span> (dart sliding) and k\u014dnane (board game), and making your own 3D<\/abbr> “Jeepney” (Filipino mini bus). Other new activities will allow keiki to learn about the world\u2019s oceans and our amazing human senses, and try their hand at “balloon fishing!”<\/p>\n

“The pandemic forced a shift to online activities during the past two years,” said Professor Jenny Watada<\/strong>, faculty co-chair of Discovery Fair. “We shared video activities, but it was nowhere near what we normally deliver with our in-person fair. We are so excited to welcome the families in our community back to the Discovery Fair!”<\/p>\n
