The Pacific Water Conference, sponsored by the American Water Works Association Hawaii Section and the Hawaii Water Environment Association, features over 75 technical sessions spread out over six concurrent tracks. Speakers include utility staff, consultants, vendors, regulators, and other professionals covering topics about water, wastewater, and stormwater. Topics range from backflow prevention and sewer cleaning to mobile asset management and resilient infrastructure design.

Learn to Code and Help Raise Money to Send the Hawaii Team to South Korea! Oceanit is hosting an introductory Altino coding class on Saturday and Sunday as a fundraiser to send three confirmed students to South Korea for the annual Saeon International Autonomous Coding Challenge on September 15th. The students would act as special guests of the South Korean Governement, who would be taking care of their hotel, meals, and ground transportation. All proceeds of the event will be contributed to their trip. Why Learn Altino? Altino was recently featured on Hawaii News Now as the first in its kind coding teaching platform to be launched into the school cirriculums of many public schools in the state of Hawaii. Click here to watch the full feature.  Altino training is geared for the non-coder. So if you have no experience with coding, this class is made for you. Altino is a teaching platform geared to make coding hands-on, inspiring, and fun. Learn more about why coding matters.  Registration Information Introduction Altino Class will be hosted on Saturday and Sunday. Please pick one of the two classes. You will only need to register ONCE. Once you setup an Eventbrite account and login, the session registration will take 2 mins. Be sure to add the dates to your calendar.

Teachers & educators, innovators & disruptors! Join our Altino System training courses, presented by Kamehameha Schools & Oceanit. The course for educators is a fun way to learn about computer programming in core programming languages like C, Visual C++, Java, Android, Scratch, and other coding languages. The Altino system helps non-coders, like many educators, to teach & spread coding throughout Hawaii’s educational system. Classes are limited to 15 per starting session, and costs $395 for the four sessions.

On March 1, 2018, Oceanit is hosting an innovative technological breakthrough meeting in our Houston offices. Oceanit will be introducing a novel, nanocomposite technology surface treatment for internal pipeline integrity, efficiency, and repair: DragX. The energy industry has embraced the numerous benefits found in using factory-applied, flow-efficiency coatings for pipelines. These benefits include increased efficiency & throughput, reduced pressure drop, reductions in power use, mitigation of corrosion on internal surfaces, reduction in adhesion of debris & paraffin, and reduced costs of inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. However, shortcomings in past coatings, application procedures, and requisite pipeline down-time have meant adoption of in-situ coatings has been minimal.  DragX and Oceanit's application method now address the shortcomings of in-situ pipeline application. Click here to learn more about DragX. RSVP to attend in-person or online The lunch-n-learn will begin at 11:30 CST in Houston. Attendees can join us for authentic Texan BBQ in Houston - or can join remotely by accessing our live webinar on Zoom.  If you choose to attend our webinar, there is an in-browser connection which does not require any downloads or app installations.  However, if you could like to have the full functionality of VOIP to ask questions during the Q&A, you will need need to download Zoom's free app on your computer or device. RSVP to attend in-person or online Oceanit will showcase DragX's: -State of development to-date; -The in-field surface treatment technology & properties; -Pipeline loop fabrication and application procedures & results; -Additionally, a review of Oceanit’s coatings technology portfolio will also be provided.

Calling our Honolulu Business community! Kamehameha Schools & Oceanit are inviting you to a FREE lunchtime executive briefing on the ‘Altino: coding system for non-coders!’ We are using this fun tool to bring coding to every student in Hawaii. Disruptors & Innovators, bring your lunch and join us at noon to learn about rethinking education, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Only 1 in 4 schools surveyed in a 2014 Gallup poll commissioned by Google teach coding. At the same time, 9 in 10 parents want their kids to have the opportunity to learn coding and advanced computer skills and feel it should be part of the curriculum. Yet, less than half of the 11,558 superintendents and principals surveyed felt that their boards supported more computer science resources. Many “do not perceive a high level of demand for computer science among students and parents in their communities." Meanwhile, countries like Finland, France, Korea, the United Kingdom, and Estonia have either begun planning elementary school-level coding classes or have already integrated them into the curriculum, leaving the U.S. educational system behind in equipping future workers for what is already a burgeoning industry. Come learn about coding in Hawaii and how Oceanit is working with teachers and educators state-wide using the Altino system! Our last summer date for 2018 is coming up!
