Developing Sensors for ʻĀina Stewardship
with Dr. Josiah Hester
What if you could hack the future of farming?
Get ready to build, code, and create technology that actually makes a difference! In this three-day immersive, you’ll team up with ʻāina stewards and technology expert Dr. Josiah Hester from the Ka Moamoa lab at Georgia Tech to take on a real-world challenge at Kumuola ma Uka.
Get hands-on with solar power, sensors, and AI as you build a working system that helps track environmental conditions, manage water, and grow food. From soldering circuits to bringing your own tech to life, you’ll discover how your ideas can help shape the future of ʻāina stewardship.
Real tech. Real challenges. Real impact. Come ready to build something that matters.
