The idea to build a voyaging canoe was first envisioned by alumna Dillyn Lietzke ’20 while she was a student at Punahou
It takes a village to launch a canoe – and that’s just what the Punahou community has come together to do with Kamaola
Kamaola, Punahou’s wa‘a kaulua, celebrated its first time at sea last October
Flexibility was a key design criteria of the Kosasa Community, and this adaptability has proven to be crucial
The program provides learning opportunities in sustainability, social studies, engineering and more
Punahou's double-hulled sailing canoe, Kamaola, took part in the Kualoa/Hakipu'u Canoe Festival along with a dozen other canoes
The weeklong lesson will teach them assembly skills, engineering concepts and about Hawaiian culture
Students are studying traditional ocean navigation all from the comfort of their own classroom
High school students from New York City’s Horace Mann School gained insight into ‘Ike Hawai’i and Hawaiian voyaging
In addition to her environmental work and school, Misailidis is also a talented musician
