Change Hawaiʻi team member Rosie Alegado, an associate professor in the UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), delivered a keynote address at the 2023 Hawaiʻi STEM Conference. Her talk, “Our Science, Our Way,” focused on the importance of asking science questions about problems that affect our local communities.
“I emphasized this because I feel that the problems facing Hawaiʻi, for example, climate, food security, and biological diversity, are questions that have broad applicability,” said Alegado. “I also focused on the importance of each person bringing their whole self to science, especially our cultural knowledge.”
Change Hawaiʻi graduate student and Hawaiʻi Data Science Institute fellow Roderick Tabalba also gave an Intro to Virtual Reality App Development workshop where participants created their own deployable application.
