Promoting interest in native wildlife and engagement in wildlife conservation
Ho‘opulama Science and Discovery Center
Our Ho‘opulama Science and Discovery Center offers interactive learning opportunities that you are more than welcome to take advantage of for your own educational curriculum. Click here for more information.
If you would like additional resources for your self-guided program, HWC offers a 13-page companion workbook with questions for each exhibit that guide students through the Science and Discovery Center. The current workbook is best for grades 6 through 12. Elementary and college level workbooks are still in development.

Group Visits
Group visits let students interact with our staff to learn more about wildlife rehabilitation and conservation issues. Education programs are led by our Community Coordinator and typically include a mix of education, games, and activities that touch on native winged species (birds and bats), our wildlife rehabilitation work, and a virtual tour of our facility.
Program information and scheduling can be done through our group visit request form. There is currently no fee for educational visits, donations are encouraged.
