Overview

Pop-Up Labs for Sustainability (PULS) is building our team to bring a mobile lab (upcycled

About Us

PULS is a new project on O’ahu (under the fiscal sponsorship of O’ahu Resource and Conservation Development Council). Our mission is to merge STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts+design, and mathematics) and sustainable learning to help young people discover their potential in these fields and inspire commitment to protecting our Earth. We believe students need to see the relevance of STEAM to the complex environmental issues
confronting people and nature and to acquire the skills they’ll need to be creative problem solvers and powerful advocates.
