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

Upcoming Events:

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.

Pacxa is Hawaiʻi’s premier technology provider and systems integrator. They harness the power of world-class technologies to help local businesses realize their full potential. Pacxa uses different tools focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Agentic Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, and low-code development to support their clients. This includes Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI services, Claude, Cursor, and Power Apps. Pacxa is developing a workforce solution alongside TRUE Hawaiʻi to reimagine a skills-based talent marketplace to connect job seekers, employers, educators and workforce partners.

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.
