How it works →
A team-based AI & technology experience designed to be accessible to beginners while rewarding deeper technical skill.
Multidisciplinary teams of 2–4 students design, build, and present an original project around a local challenge theme — from disaster preparedness to cultural preservation.
Students work alongside technologists from industry, schools, and the local community — connections they wouldn't otherwise make.
Standout teams present their work publicly, putting student innovation in front of the whole community
Pre-event workshops cover design thinking, AI fundamentals, and responsible technology — so every student leaves more fluent in the tools shaping their world.
Built on existing trengths — diverse schools, STEM clubs, robotics programs, and a community invested in its young people.
Whether you build, teach, mentor, or invest — the ʻEnehana Project grows with participants
