About Wayfinders

Wayfinders of the Pacific is an afterschool STEM program that empowers Pacific youth through a unique blend of ancestral knowledge and modern technology.

​​​​

Through this interactive learning experience, students explore the deep connections between science, storytelling, and identity, discovering that their culture is science, and their ancestors were the first navigators, engineers, and environmental scientists.

Why it matters?

​​​Pacific youth often grow up without seeing themselves reflected in science, technology, or the classroom.

 

Wayfinders changes that.

 

By centering their cultural knowledge and lived experiences, the program helps young people build confidence, pride, and curiosity in STEM - showing them that their heritage is not just history, but a powerful foundation for the future.​
