EA Ecoversity received $2.63 million through a Project Grant awarded by the Administration for Native Americans under the Native American Programs (CFDA 93.612) to develop and deploy the LEO (Hawaiian Language Exploration Platform), a mobile-friendly application designed to increase Hawaiian language proficiency among Native Hawaiians. The three-year project, which commenced July 1, 2025, and concludes June 30, 2028, will deliver Hawaiian Language Basics (HLB), a comprehensive four-course curriculum containing approximately 130 hours of interactive content including games, videos, activities, and assignments. The instructional material will be presented through four culturally embedded Hawaiian family avatars—Aunty Aloha, Uncle Ikaika, Granny Malama, and Grandpa Pono—each providing domain-specific vocabulary, protocols, and cultural practices ranging from ocean activities to traditional farming. The project will also develop and test a custom learning management system featuring over 20 interactive features, with engagement of 300+ co-researchers providing content and functionality feedback throughout the development process. This initiative directly addresses the gap in Hawaiian language proficiency, with less than 5% of Native Hawaiians currently able to hold conversations in the language, a challenge attributed not to lack of interest but rather to the absence of flexible, culturally grounded learning options aligned with contemporary schedules and technology preferences. The deliverable serves the Native American Programs' mission of promoting economic and social self-sufficiency by supporting cultural preservation and language revitalization within the Native Hawaiian community.Federal Grant Award Summary
