On this special episode of HIKI NŌ on PBS Hawaiʻi, find out which schools produced the winning entries of the HIKI NŌ on PBS Hawaiʻi 2024 Fall Challenge, with host Emma Roy, a senior at H.P. Baldwin High School on Maui.

In October, PBS Hawai‘i announced the Fall 2024 Challenge story prompt: “Weathering the Storm.” Students were given five days to answer the call and find stories that met the prompt. During a whirlwind five days, they modeled professional journalists and conducted interviews, captured footage and edited their stories without any hands-on help from teachers or HIKI NŌ’s industry professionals.

HIKI NŌ Challenges are held three times a school year and provide students with the opportunity to review and learn HIKI NŌ production standards, test their skills, and get a taste for what it is like to produce work under professional deadlines. During the normal, non-competitive HIKI NŌ on PBS Hawai‘i production cycle, students have several weeks and sometimes months to complete their projects and receive one-on-one mentorship from HIKI NŌ on PBS Hawai‘i mentors.  

The winning stories’ scores were based on production and storytelling criteria as well as how they fit the prompt. Watch this episode of HIKI NŌ on PBS Hawai‘i to see the stories they chose to tell.
