Aloha my name is Travis Maekawa and I am from Mililani, Hawaii. I am the Computer Science Specialist for the district. I help in the teaching of computer science principles in the district. At the high school I teach the Sports Marketing class. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Biophysics. If there is anything to know about me is that I love baseball and have been playing and watching my entire life. I currently help coach the freshman baseball team. My wife, Casie is a teacher at Juab Junior High School and is a huge reason that I have decided to be a teacher. In 2020-2021 I taught Computer Science at the high school. I have also worked as a research assistant on a systems biology project utilizing computer programming to model biological processes. These experiences over the last couple of years have been a huge part of who I am as a person. I'm excited to get know new people and help students to gain technical and life skills that will help them be successful now and in the future.
