First day at Hawaii, Punahou High School

Kristoffer Eriknauer:
After we arrived Saturday evening, we had a little time Sunday to explore Waikiki before we checked in at the University of Hawaii, where we are living in dorm rooms of 4.

We had our first night Sunday where we were introduced to everyone from the program. There are 82 students attending this year's Studen Global Leadership Institute.

And today, Monday, we walked from Univeristy of Hawaii to Punahou HS. We arrived at the Campus and saw how beautiful and well kept their campus is. Here we were introduced to some of the teachers and people we are going to be working with for the time being.

First activity: Bring a picture of yourself holding your most priced/important belonging and decorate it with things that you love.

The TA's (Teacher assistants) Making us mingle with each other through fun games and activities.



Looking at Punahou's Campus while learning an old ancient Hawaiian Chant that we are going to sing Wednesday Morning to welcome the sun.




Playing the"untangling" game with some of the students. Challenging us in teamwork and the ability to listen to one another.



Second activity: Doing a Physics project in nature on the Punahou Campus. Here we focused on different species and what variables that might affect them. We looked at plants, bugs, trees or whatever living object one could find interesting. We practised how to observe and inference.

We wrote down all the information we encountered and took differnt test of the area we decided to focus on. On thursday we will be presenting our work for the rest of the students. We work in group of 8.




We are loving the heat and surroundings at Hawaii, Honolulu.

Hugs from Anne-Sophie, Anna and Kristoffer.

And a BIG thanks to both SGLI Program and Ordrup Gymnasium for letting us participate in such an amazing event.
