Congratulations to Grace Benton and Ami Kinnamon of Kalāheo High School.
The Windward Academy for Career Tech Education hosted its second annual PBA (performance based assessment) event yesterday at the Koʻolau Ballroom. "A PBA is a real world, industry problem-based or design-based culminating challenge that assesses students' knowledge and skills of a Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathway program. The challenges, developed by local industry partners, ask students to develop a solution or product and present their ideas to the industry professionals."
Hikaʻalani's challenge, in the field of digital media, was to create a video public service announcement that depicts our vision, raises awareness of our work at Ulupō, and issues a call to action for volunteers to attend our second-Saturday community work days.
Six teams made it to the finals: three each from Kalāheo H.S. and Kailua H.S. All six PSAs are very worthy of use on our web and fb pages and will, in fact, appear monthly on these pages as community workday announcements and reminders. Look for the winning entry to appear, as well, as a regularly scheduled PSA on KFVE The Home Team.
