2018-12-18 00:00 UTC
Oceanit’s Design Thinking: A Process for Innovation workshops are an exclusive gathering, of no more than 20 people, designed for executives and leaders to provide a one-day, immersive Design Thinking experience.
Workshops are held on Saturdays from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm to avoid the interruption of the work week. Participants dive into the Design Thinking process through a variety of teaching methodologies and exercises. Since August 2015, more than 600 leaders have experienced what it means to “think outside the box”, and many have gone back to their organizations to begin their organizational transformation.
Executives will take part in an immersive, real-world project to learn the human-centered, prototype-driven approach to innovation. The workshop is a dynamic mix of short instructional lectures, demonstrations, and guided hands-on teamwork. You will experience the Design Thinking mindsets and philosophy that we practice at Oceanit – to learn more, click the link below!

Altino - Intro 2 Principles of Coding, Campbell Kapolei Complex
2019-03-18 00:00 - 2019-03-20 00:00 UTC
PDE3 – two days of coding, one day of curriculum dev, and two follow-on online sessions. This course can also be taken for audit.
Coding, a.k.a. computer programming, teaches students how to think critically. Like robotics, coding is a means, not an end to engage students. The goal is not to convert students into Computer Science majors! Coding is a way for students to experience and value the experimentation mindset, i.e., the innovation mindset, which is about creative problem solving, and how to break down problems. Coding feels very similar to Design Thinking and Robotics because failure is expected, which means failure really becomes about learning. Coding with the Altino robotic car feels like playing, but students are learning to think. And they won’t want to stop!

Redesigning Education for an Online World | Design Thinking Showcase
2021-04-24 09:00 - 10:30 (Pacific/Honolulu)
Please join us on April 24th at 9am HST for the Digital Transformation: E-Learning Models Showcase!
The Hawaii Department of Education and Oceanit have been doing a design sprint with 7 design teams made up of teachers, parents, community members, and students to rethink education for an online world. The design teams have been hard at work collaborating and using Design Thinking to develop potential school/complex area models or components for distance/blended learning.
At this showcase, teams will be presenting their ideas and models and soliciting feedback. Everyone’s participation in providing feedback is important as teams move into the final phase of the Design Thinking process! After the designs are finalized, these new models will be shared with HIDOE Complex Area Superintendents, Complex Area staff, and School Principals. Schools and complex areas may consider these models for future distance/blended learning implementation, as appropriate.
Our teams are excited to share their design prototypes with you, and we look forward to seeing you on April 24th! Please come support, and give your feedback on their prototypes. Please RSVP at the link below and feel free to share this invite as well.
Date: Saturday, April 24, 2021, 9:00 a.m. – 10:130 a.m.
