A primary objective of Ulu Aʻe is to create resources that incorporate culture-based and digital media skills-building learning activities to support a sense of belonging and personal identity essential for the academic, character, physical, and social-emotional well-being of all our students.

School-based teams work with Ulu Aʻe project staff to implement proposed learning activities and develop new ones as needs are identified. Activities utilize a wide range of proven strategies including culture-based lessons that have demonstrated positive impact on students, field ʻāina-based experiences, integrating technology to improve 21st century skills, and building positive relationships and interconnections among, students, families, and educators.
