This week get right into conversation and talk to the team that took first place in the high school category at the recent 7th Hawaii Annual Code Challenge. And with that I’d like to welcome Brix Kozuki from Punahou and Joshua Li from University Lab School, who took 1st place in the Lo Code/No Code category at the HACC.
First up, the annual Geek Meet us back. Due to the pandemic itʻs been on a 2-year hiatus and itʻs back at Ala Moana Beach Park, on Magic Island on Sunday September 25, starting at 9am going to 3pm.
Then, we are joined by Omar Sultan from XLR8HI and he brought a few guest companies, Akiko White, Owner of Aloha Bites, Dallas Stewart, CEO & CFO of Better Jerky Co and Tanya Fernandez, Co-Founder of Vivia Cares, Inc. and theyʻre here to tell us about the preX program.
During our live broadcast, the phone lines are reserved for your show of support. We are looking for new members so if you enjoy our weekly tech talks, we hope you’ll consider supporting the great, original, local programming here on Hawaii Public Radio.

First up I want to let you know about this quick news item, coming up tomorrow, Oct 10th, is an IfA talk about the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration which recently obtained the first image of a black hole. Dr. Geoffrey Bower will describe the science and technology behind this discovery, including what it tells us about Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The black hole has been given the Hawaiian name PÅwehi in recognition of the pioneering role of Maunakea telescopes – the Submillimeter Array and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
