In 2017, Dr. Tara O\u2019Neill and Dr. Hirohisa Nagai piloted a partnership in which STEMS\u00b2 collaborated with University of Tsukuba and the Tsukuba University Laboratory School Network<\/a> to provide student and teacher delegations with STEMS\u00b2 learning experiences. To date, STEMS\u00b2 is honored to have worked with three delegations from Tokyo and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

In Fall 2017, STEMS\u00b2 collaborated with Voyager Charter School and Ka Papa Lo\u2018i O K\u0101newai<\/a> to provide a delegation of 20 fourth and fifth grade students from Tokyo with a one-week place- and culture-based robotics learning experience.<\/p>\n

In Spring 2018, STEMS\u00b2 hosted a delegation of 12 Tsukuba University Laboratory School teachers for a two-week professional development experience on O’ahu and Hawai\u2018i Islands.<\/p>\n

In Fall 2018, one of the Tsukuba University Laboratory School teachers who attended the professional development experience in Spring 2018 brought a delegation of 10 high school students to engage in a week of STEMS\u00b2 learning journeys on Maui Island.<\/p>\n

As a result of the success of these experiences, a desire for long-term collaboration and partnership was created and in Spring 2019 the University of Hawai\u2018i approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Tsukuba. The MOU \u201cencourages the exchange of faculty, scholars, students, academic information and materials and expresses the belief that the research and educational processes at both universities will be enhanced by formally establishing this collaboration.\u201d The STEMS\u00b2 ohana is excited to welcome the University of Tsukuba as the first international collaborator in the STEMS\u00b2 network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2143,"template":"","departments_units":[10],"areas_of_interest":[99,103,105],"class_list":["post-2135","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSTEMS\u00b2 Announces MOU with University of Tsukuba - STEMS\u00b2<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/coe.hawaii.edu\/stems2\/news\/stems\u00b2-announces-mou-with-university-of-tsukuba\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"STEMS\u00b2 Announces MOU with University of Tsukuba - STEMS\u00b2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 2017, Dr. Tara O\u2019Neill and Dr. Hirohisa Nagai piloted a partnership in which STEMS\u00b2 collaborated with University of Tsukuba and the Tsukuba University Laboratory School Network to provide student and teacher delegations with STEMS\u00b2 learning experiences.
