Chartered under the NASA National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, the Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium began its activities in the fall of 1990, funding undergraduate fellows at the Manoa and Hilo campuses. The program now includes community colleges in the UH system. Activities began at Leeward Community College in the Spring of 1992, at Windward Community College in the Fall of 1992, Maui Community College in the Spring 1994, and Honolulu community College in Fall of 1997. We are beginning to work with Hawai'i, Kapiolani and Kauai Community Colleges and the University of Guam. From 1994-97, web pages for the Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium were developed and maintained by Greg Smith. Linda Martel, who continues the development and maintenance of the site, redesigned these pages in 1998. In September, 2001 the website moved to a new address: www.spacegrant.hawaii.edu.

NASA National Space Grant College and Fellowship programs are dedicated to the development and support of future scientists and engineers. Participation in Space Grant programs provides new opportunities for our full-time students to explore space related fields. Expanded opportunities for space education through the efforts of the Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium have been focused on the public, particularly teachers and students in grades kindergarten through twelve. From 2001-2007, Hawai'i Space Grant was proud to be a cooperating partner of the Space Science Network Northwest (S2N2), a NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Facilitator and Support Network for education and public outreach in Alaska, Hawai'i, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, and Washington. (Now that the S2N2 program has ended, you may visit the NASA Science Mission Directorate to see what they are doing in the realm of SMD education and public outreach.)
