University of Hawaii College of Architecture and Hawaii's Wood Show
Innovation and Imagination Student Challenge
What is the Innovation and Imagination Student Challenge?
An exciting component of Hawaii’s Woodshow is the Innovation + Imagination (I+I) Student Challenge, a division that was initiated in 2017 to introduce students to the diverse world of Hawai‘i woods. Students are challenged to construct artwork using a mixture of donated Hawai‘i-grown wood and other materials of their choice.
The I+I Student Challenge is coordinated by Steven Hill, IDSA, the 3DLab Director at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, School of Architecture. The goal of the program is to expose students to a hands-on experience of design and production as well as familiarize them with the value of using locally sourced resources that will influence them in their future professions.
This year 24 students entered 18 pieces. Students were from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Architecture, Brigham Young University, and various local high schools.

Student Grade LevelThe I + I Student Challenge is primarily for students grades 9 - 12. However, there are some exceptions made for younger students with a high level of robotics and designing experience.
Build / Competition ScheduleThe season starts during the first semester of the school year. Teams typically have from August through November to design, construct and present their projects.
Requirements for Joining the TeamStudents with a passion for robotics, engineering and architecture are encouraged to register for the team. Students with a a strong design background, an appreciation for nature and a passion for Hawaii's hardwoods will especially enjoy this program.
