Students complete challenging, hands-on projects to earn academic credit. They also design and complete custom passion projects that allow them to pursue their interests and goals. Sample projects:
Students recorded a music album and then worked with a film director to create music videos for their songs.
Shawn works with small businesses to create custom websites that showcase their products and services.
After interning at Iwi Fresh, a farm-to-skin organic spa, Kamani created her own skin care product using locally sourced ingredients.
