What is a HOTspot event?
COVID-19 has made learning challenging for everyone involved; students, teachers and parents. KCSC wants to support students, teachers and parents by bringing resources to their neighborhoods with the KCSC HOTspot.
KCSC HOTspot will come to neighborhoods and the students, teachers and parents can gather, adhering to social distancing, have access to WiFi and connect with each other over fun, informal science activities! Via the KCSC HOTspot, KCSC will share information, resources as well as fun STEAM related activities and content.
Who attends a HOTspot?
KCSC HOTspot events are totally FREE and open to everyone! Bring your keiki, tutu, aunty and uncle, students, teachers, parents and friends.
What can I expect to do at the HOTspot?
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!
When are the events?
HOTspot events occur twice per month! Stay tuned on social media for updates to our schedule, or check back in on our site!

Well, if its mobile, where is it?

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 Learning Resource: 21st Century Learning Skills
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.
We LOVE feedback! Please share your suggestions & questions with us - hey we're scientists after all
