Oceanit will be hosting Altino coding cohorts in six DOE complexes this coming summer, scheduled for the three credit professional development for teachers. Capped at 25 teachers per class, teachers will be trained in "C" language using the Altino Coding Cars which make learning computer programming fun, engaging, and easy! Teachers will earn three professional development credits, by doing four days of coding, and two days of curriculum development with the Oceanit Altino team. Not only will teachers be introduced to code through the Altino robotic cars, but will also have two days working with other teachers to create new curriculum in their subject areas. For example, a social studies teacher will incorporate elements of coding to make social studies engaging while teaching coding to students. Contact Oceanit for any questions about Altino, information about the summer cohorts, or to be connected with the local cohort coordinator in your area.

The 8th Annual Design Thinking Hawaii Bootcamp will be held from Tue, July 17 at 7:30 AM – Wednesday, July 18 at 4:30 PM HST. The ability to innovate faster - and in new ways - is critical to achieving high performance and surviving in a competitive world. This year's Design Thinking Hawaii Summer Bootcamp will focus on building capacity for the implementation of Design Thinking - a human-centered, prototype-driven process for innovation that can be applied to products, services, and business design. The overall goal of the bootcamp is to change mindsets to sustain and accelerate innovation. The Year 8 Edition of the Summer Bootcamp will feature a sponsored challenge facilitated by DTH staff. The theme of the workshop is “Sustainability,” and the challenge will be focused on, “How Might We develop a Green Economy industry in Hawaii?” The 'Design Thinking Hawaii Summer Bootcamps: Changing Mindsets' will be a high-energy, experiential two-day learning experience. Participants will collaborate in small, multidisciplinary teams to solve a hands-on, customized innovation challenge. The workshop is built upon learning by doing and reflection - and participants learn the phases of the Design Thinking process as they tackle the challenge. The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design’s five-step process (empathy, define, ideate, prototype, feedback) will be used in the bootcamp. To learn more about Design Thinking, visit Oceanit's DT page.

"Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think." - Steve Jobs This is a one-day introduction to coding for non-technical, non-coding teachers being sponsored by the Hawaii Dept of Education, Honolulu Complex. No experience needed. Teachers from all subject areas are welcome. In fact, we're looking for non-STEM and non-technical teachers, so please join us! Using the fun Altino autonomous cars, we have trained more than 300 adults, of which 175+ are teachers since 2017 with a 99% completion rate. One day of Altino coding, 10 dates to choose from, 25 seats per session (students are encourage to attend with their teacher). Free, with priority given to Honolulu Complex Area DOE teachers! (Kaimuki-McKinley-Roosevelt), transform education in Hawaii by bringing creative problem solving to every student in Hawaii by teaching 5000 non-technical teachers how to code. We will announce future dates for the next 3 day / 3 credit PDE3 in coding for Spring Break 2019 Dates & times: Classes start at 8:00am and go until 2:30pm. Locations are still being selected so if your school is interested please let us know!
