Experiential Learning of Emerging and Novel Technologies (ExLENT) @ KapCC

Upcoming Events:

Join us to learn about 3R Water, the company that created the Follow the Drop moble and web-based app.  It supports the building climate resiliency in communities in Hawaii and beyond, by helping the public prepare for storms and get connected to incentive programs to implement rainwater capture projects on their properties.

Join us to learn about Akamai Intelligence, Hawaiʻi-based Native Hawaiian Organization-owned company that focuses on strengthening critical infrastructure, improving secure communications, and supporting government and defense missions. They work with cybersecurity, artificial intelligence–assisted data analysis, secure cloud and network technologies, unified communications, and more.

Join us to learn how Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum studies Invertebrate Zoology.  Invertebrate Zoology is the scientific study of animals without backbones, including marine groups such as sponges, corals, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Bishop Museum focuses primarily on marine invertebrates from Hawaiʻi and the Pacific, while also encompassing the remarkable diversity of species found across island and reef ecosystems.

Join us to learn about Hawaiʻi Technology Development Corporation (HTDC), a state agency that supports tech and innovation companies to make an impact in Hawaii and beyond. In their work they learn how to implement different AI platforms and agents to help with work processes.

Join us to learn about satellite-based remote sensing products, artificial intelligence (AI), biologgers, and UAVs with Jake Linsky from Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB). These tools are used to monitor megafauna and Hawaiian ecosystems. This work develops methodologies that can be applied by conservation groups and federal/state agencies.

Join us to learn about PITCHR, a non-profit organization, that aissist companies developing new technologies for dual-use purposes. PICHTR supports technology development for economic, educational, and workforce development. PICHTR supports the development of a vibrant, sustainable technology industry in Hawaii.

Join us to learn about Hawaiʻi Green Growth, who partners with the Follow the Drop app to create "BioCatchment Systems" or biofiltration planters to implement. These catchments help to divert excess water flow when it rains. Their goal is to eventually develop a system suitable for the market.

Join us to learn how TRUE Initiative turns technology adoption into jobs, workforce capacity, and economic opportunity. Their mission is to convene cross-sector leaders to accelerate technology adoption and workforce development. TRUE's thesis is that AI can create jobs and raise productivity, but only if adoption is coordinated instead of fragmented.

Join us to learn about fisheries population model, machine learning-assisted image annotation, and potential machine learning with satellite imagery with Andrew Pettit from Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB). These tools helps to potential affects of fishing regulations, flag potentially illegal activity, and helps to support marine conservation and enforcement efforts in Hawaiʻi and across broader ocean regions.
