University of Hawaiʻi Pacific Summer Transportation Education Program accepting students for 2026
June 7, 2026 - 01:44
High school students looking to explore the intersection of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with real-world urban planning now have a new opportunity. The University of Hawaii Pacific Summer Transportation Education Program is now accepting applications for its 2026 session. The program aims to introduce participants to STEM skills through the specific lens of urban and regional planning. Organizers hope this hands-on experience will not only fuel students' higher education choices but also spark a lasting interest in transportation-related careers.
The curriculum is designed to show how math and science apply directly to the way cities move and grow. Students will work on projects that explore traffic flow, public transit systems, and sustainable infrastructure. By connecting classroom theory to practical challenges, the program seeks to build a pipeline of future engineers, planners, and policy makers. The initiative also emphasizes the importance of diverse perspectives in shaping the communities of tomorrow. Applications are open now, and interested students are encouraged to apply early as spots are limited. The program runs during the summer months and is free for selected participants.
