Excite Camp

Kulia Murray peers through a PVC telescope she made. The middle school student was one of 20 who visited the Air Force Research Laboratory’s telescope facilities atop Haleakala, a 10,000-foot-high volcanic mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Their visit was part of a three-day event held earlier this month to expose under-represented groups such as native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders to careers in science, technology and math.
