KCSC HOTspot features a variety of Brown Bag Activities at each event - check out this fun activity exploring action and reaction.
Please reach us at info@kauaicsc.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
KCSC wants to support career-connected learning, grow science literacy and build a stronger, more resilient community. Our HOTspot events support students, teachers and parents by bringing resources to their neighborhoods.
The KCSC HOTspot comes to neighborhood centers where the students, teachers and parents can gather, have access to WiFi and connect with each other over fun, informal science activities!
KCSC HOTspot events are totally FREE and open to everyone! Bring your keiki, tutu, aunty and uncle, students, teachers, parents and friends.
We feature free mobile WiFi able to provide WiFi within 1000 ft of the HOTspot, 3D printing demonstrations, robotics activities including M-Bot Robots and Spheros that you can control, book club books and fun Brown Bag Activities!
HOTspot events occur twice per month! Stay tuned on social media for updates to our schedule, or check back in on our site!
Yes! Please fill out the registration form (keep scrolling to find it) and select your time slot based on availability!
Glad you asked! When you register you will see the location of the event you are signing up for.
We've been at the Kaumakani Pavilion for many of our events. Check for location details on the registration form. We are looking to expand to neighborhood centers all over the island! We'd love to hear from you... where do you want us next?
STEAM, not the hot kind, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & culture and Math.
Kauai Community Science Center is working with professionals from the BNY Mellon Fab Lab at Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA, STE(A)M Truck powered by Community Guilds in Atlanta, GA and Chaminade University's " I Am a Scientist" mobile STEM program in Honolulu to develop KCSC HOTspot. These three established mobile learning resources are amazing collaborators for KCSC as we start our own "mobile" endeavor.

THE BIG IDEA
Learn structural engineering and make some cool bubbles.
THE BIG IDEA
Use household and recycled materials to create a sculpture.
THE BIG IDEA
Design a balloon rocket to learn about action and reaction.
THE BIG IDEA
Use recycled and craft materials to make a feeder for the backyard and be prepared
to observe the birds that visit.
THE BIG IDEA
The bottle racer converts stored potential energy into kinetic energy, the energy of motion.
THE BIG IDEA
To learn about a life cycle and complete metamorphosis.
THE BIG IDEA
Engineering is a way to solve problems and be creative.
THE BIG IDEA
Design a moving caterpillar and have a race!
THE BIG IDEA
To learn about some viruses, including the novel coronavirus and how virus membranes behave. Learn how
disrupting the viral membrane on contact, inactivates the virus.
BIG IDEA
Use recycled materials to assemble your own inset collecting net
BIG IDEA
Celebrate Albert Einstein’s birthday, March 14th by creating some art.
BIG IDEA
Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid. What does that mean and what does it have to do with viscosity and force?
THE BIG IDEA
Learning to use a measuring tool to determine the sizes of objects.
THE BIG IDEA
Make an instrument that is fun to play.
Using a recycled water bottle and a paper tube to make a membranophone—an instrument that
produces sound from a vibrating stretched membrane. Kazoos and drums are both examples of
membranophones. This one sounds a bit like a cross between a saxophone and a clarinet.
THE BIG IDEA
Make a parachute using simple materials and watch how the forces of gravity and air resistance affect it as it
falls.
THE BIG IDEA
To learn about phases of the moon
THE BIG IDEA
To learn how robotics can help substitute some of the functions of the skeleton and muscles that make us move.
THE BIG IDEA
To learn about what planets are in our solar system, which ones are closer or further from the Sun, and which
one is the biggest or the smallest.
Whether you’re a student, parent, teacher or involved with KCSC in some other way, we would love to hear about your experience! We’re looking for anything from suggestions, questions, anecdotes and funny stories, to meaningful feedback regarding the impact that KCSC has had on you, your family and friends etc.
We would also love to see photos of your keiki participating in STEAM projects at home — any activities that involve creating, problem solving and critical thinking skills — indoors or outside.
