In the Spring of 2014, 'Iolani began to create something special in their Lower School (grades K-6).

Third Grade Mini-Society Unit
In the spring, our third grade students do a major unit called Mini-Society. The class comes up with a name for their town, a form of currency and then each student comes up with a business and business plan. Part of their plan is to create a poster and button for their business...that's where the Lab comes in. Each student designs a poster and button, we scan them into the computer, do a little work with "Preview" and "Inkscape", turn them in to PDF files and laser cut them.
