Learn about and discuss with Oceanit's Ian Kitajima potential opportunities that expose students to world=class professional, artificial intelligence technologies, design thinking innovation processes and hands-on big data analysis/data dashboard development.
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.

Join What Schools Could Be for a Game Changer Series conversation with Oceanit's Director of Corporate Development, Ian Kitajima. Ian is best known as the “Technology Sherpa” at Oceanit – a “Mind to Market” innovation lab of 160 scientists, engineers, technologists, designers, and dreamers conducting advance technology development research for government and private clients worldwide. On Thursday, January 20, from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM HST (7:00 PM Eastern), Ian will join host Ted Dintersmith to talk about Oceanit's SURF program and educational initiatives focused on bringing innovation, computer science, coding, and Design Thinking to our schools. Oceanit's SURF program is focused on empowering students and educators with new super powers for the future. RSVP by clicking the Eventbrite link below! As Oceanit's Technology Sherpa, his role is to move science and technology breakthroughs from the lab to the marketplace, which has included opening the South Korean market since 2014, and 3 venture backed Oceanit startups as a co-founder at Hoana Medical, Nanopoint, and Ibis Networks. He is the co-founder of the Design Thinking Hawaii movement beginning in 2010, the "Altino" movement in 2017 to teach 5000 non-technical teachers creative problem solving skills via computer programming so every student in Hawaii can be exposed to Computer Science, and the Aloha AI Network in 2019 to put the future of Artificial Intelligence into the hands of teachers and students now.
The 11th annual Design Thinking Hawaii Bootcamp is online for TWO action packed HALF-DAYS. Learn the process of innovation from our Stanford d.school partners.
