Melanie Ah Soon

Hawaii | 2010
Melanie Ah Soon has been making an impact on education for over 20 years. While teaching sixth grade science at Sacred Hearts Academy, Melanie spearheaded the Kaua’i island trip, where students travel off-island to learn about different landforms, such as the Waimea Canyon and Fern Grotto. She also set up service-learning projects, including restoring a native Hawaiian fishpond in Hanalei and eradicating invasive and nonnative plants that threaten the indigenous plants in Koke’e. Melanie’s enthusiasm for science extends beyond the normal school hours. She co-coached Sacred Hearts Academy’s robotics team and has served as a mentor to students for the Hawaii State Science Fair. Additionally, she helped facilitate her school’s Science Symposium for Girls for elementary and middle school students.
