Coming back from the Covid pause, we are thrilled to announce our 2023 conference.

Imi Wai Ola brings STEM and higher education organizations, scientists, and students together in a symposium venue to share research and collaborate in a non-competitive setting. The Imi Wai Ola Student Science Conference enables a diverse group of students from all over the state to engage with each other in intellectual conversation regarding environmental issues that directly pertain to them. It is those students who will be the architects of the solutions for the problems left to them by the generation before them.

Keeping in mind that people only take care of things they care for, these students scientists have develop a deep and profound care for their environment, aloha āina. In ancient Hawaiʻi, it was said to plan seven generations ahead, maybe this conference is one way that thinking can be rekindled.
