The Hawaii International Science Experience (HISE) is an annual 5-day science and culture program designed and hosted by high school student leaders on Hawai'i Island.The program brings together students from across Hawaii Island and invites international schools to participate in collaborative science learning experiences that highlight innovation, sustainability, and the island's unique environmental and cultural resources.The 2026 program will take place July 19-23. During this event, participants engage in hands-on science workshops,field-based learning experiences, collaborative problem-solving projects, and discussions with professionals working in Science,` Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) and environmental fields. Students will travel island-wide to explore its diverse ecosystems and scientific research environments.Activities introduce participants to current scientific advances, sustainability innovations, and STEM career pathways while strengthening collaboration between schools and communities across the island.All Hawaii Island Department of Education high schools, as well as several charter and private schools, have been invited to participate. The public purpose served by this program is educational.
