In my community engagement class, we take on a lot of different projects that have us working with the school and Kihei community. One project that I have been working on in particular with a group of people is a system called shark bites. This was a thing from back when I was in middle school and it had been pretty popular. They were basically thin slips of paper with a shark on them. They acted as a currency and we earned them through doing good things. These could the be exchanged for prizes weekly at the shark bite store or, during the auction at the end of each semester. This is something that my group in that class decided to bring back and we have been working and planning it for the last few months. While the system is still not in effect, we have been preparing by 3D printing shark bites and talking with teachers about distribution and what they will be worth. We also work with the Kihei/Wailea Rotary Club and the Kihei parks. Some Fridays we will repaint worn benches at the parks and others we will meet with the rotary club and talk about volunteering opportunities.
