M&#257;noa undergraduate students from math, engineering and computer science are leading the four days of fun, educational activities. <\/p>\n<p>Created by Professor of Mathematics <a href=\"http:\/\/www.math.hawaii.edu\/~mchyba\/\"><strong>Monique Chyba<\/strong><\/a>, the <abbr>STOMP<\/abbr> program typically involves college students in local classrooms. With the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2016\/03\/04\/i-lab-opens-at-uh-manoa\/\">opening of the iLab in March 2016<\/a>, a modern, collaborative space was created to give <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">UH<\/abbr> students and faculty the opportunity to innovate and commercialize their ideas. To promote <abbr title=\"science, technology, engineering, math\">STEM<\/abbr> outreach, the iLab also gives young students a taste of college life as well as the chance to be a scientist for a few days. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&#8217;re really excited about the iLab space and the way it brings M&#257;noa student mentors and school kids together to learn about <abbr>STEM<\/abbr>,&rdquo; said Chyba. &ldquo;We are hoping it will lead to a spring break camp and summer outreach programs, as well as after school sessions during the academic year.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>University students interested in mentoring school kids or local school coordinators interested in sending their students can contact Monique Chyba at <a href=\"mailto:chyba@hawaii.edu\">chyba@hawaii.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;By Jeela Ongley<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/manoa-mathematics-ilab-robots.jpg\" alt=\"Two school students learn about robots from a U H mentor\" width=\"620\" height=\"459\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/manoa-mathematics-ilab-robots.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/manoa-mathematics-ilab-robots-260x192.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Â鶹´«Ã½ school kids get hands-on learning in robotics, programming and mathematics in the Innovation Lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,12],"tags":[554,313,9,56],"class_list":["post-54742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-video","tag-mathematics","tag-stem","tag-uh-manoa","tag-video-2","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54742"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109442,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54742\/revisions\/109442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
