Honors Science Research is a challenging experiment-oriented course focused on giving students training and experience in contemporary research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences.  Students are instructed in basic and advanced concepts of experiment design, oral presentation, and scientific writing.  Each student designs and executes an original research project for presentation at the Kamehameha High School Science Fair.  Qualified projects continue to the Pacific Symposium for Science and Sustainability, HAIS District Science and Engineering Fair, and the Hawai‘i State Science and Engineering Fair.  Exceptional projects may be selected for competition at the International Science and Engineering Fair and National Junior Sciences and Humanities Symposium.  University quality research facilities provide exceptional opportunities for highly motivated students whose success is limited only by their willingness to work hard.
