Tackling Waste Management on the Big Island

Ruby Helmuth

My name is Ruby Helmuth and I am a senior at Hawaii Preparatory Academy. Growing up in Hawaii, I have developed a deep connection with our land and I am want to leave a positive impact on my community. I see the impacts humans continue to cause on our island environment. As one who is often found on the beach with a bucket of debris, I have done lots of work individually trying to diminish these impacts.

Legacy (APR 29)

Secure the continuum of your capstone product and journey by creating a white paper, Standard Operating Procedure, Training Manual, and/or digital artifact you are allowing rising seniors for decades to carry your capstone product and ideas forward. Here is where you lay the foundation to do so. In this phase you will:

  • Create a white paper to document and capture your Capstone journey
  • Propose future work
