Archinoetics at UH’s Head Start program

Archinoetics — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 07:30:23 +0000

Archinoetics was an invited industry representative at the University of Hawaii’s Head Start program on August 19, 2011. The program gives incoming freshmen and transfer students, along with their families, a formal introduction to engineering at UH Manoa. Industry representatives gave the students insight into the engineering and tech industries in Hawaii. Engineers from Archinoetics told students and their families about the exciting technologies that we develop and gave advice about relevant classes and majors.

Archinoetics Hosts Students With Interest in STEM

Archinoetics — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:24:46 +0000

On June 21 and June 22, Archinoetics hosted students from the UH Pacific Alliance program, which serves individuals with disabilities, and the UH College of Engineering internship program. Students learned about mechanical engineering and saw the 3D printer, heard about careers in software engineering and graphic design, learned more about hardware engineer from circuit design to builds, toured the sensors lab, and learned more about sleep and fatigue.

Office Tour for Local High School Students

Archinoetics — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:53:51 +0000

Today, Archinoetics and Fatigue Science hosted 25 students from McKinley, Roosevelt, and Farrington High Schools. We showed them some of the work that engineers and scientists perform on a daily basis in the hopes of inspiring careers in the technology fields. Students saw the 3D printer create parts, watched an engineer work on a circuit board layout, learned about the GIS-based projects, and were given a demonstration of the Fatigue Science ReadiBand and fatigue risk mitigation systems.

Women in Technology Day at the Bishop Museum

Archinoetics — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 21:57:15 +0000

Today, Archinoetics participated in the Women in Technology GIS/GPS Day at the Bishop Museum as part of the Young Professionals panel. We shared with students the uses of GIS and GPS in the technologies that we develop.

Project Niu Goes to Waiau Elementary School

Archinoetics — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:06:47 +0000

Archinoetics, in partnership with isisHawaii, has been going to elementary and middle schools around Oahu for the past few years teaching science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in an ocean-related context. The classes are part of Project Niu, our educational outreach activity sponsored by NOAA.

Project Niu Launches Three Ocean Drifters

Archinoetics — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 20:14:00 +0000

Project Niu is an outreach effort by Archinoetics to teach K-12 students about science, technology, and environmental stewardship in the context of the ocean and marine debris. Archinoetics built three ocean drifter buoys and joined 150 students to deploy them near Hawaii Kai. Please read more about Project Niu and track the Niu devices.

Archinoetics Volunteers for Holiday Toy Drive

Archinoetics — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:16:18 +0000

Archinoetics has always been dedicated to giving back to the community, and this holiday season is no exception. More than half the company spent a day at a local warehouse organizing toys for the Lokahi Giving Project, an organization that helps Hawaii’s struggling families.

Adobe Education Releases Project Niu Documentary

Archinoetics — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:21:57 +0000

Just a few months before we launched the first Niu from Waimea Bay (5/8/2008), the Project Niu team began an exciting collaboration with the K-12 Education team at Adobe Systems Inc. (You all know Adobe as the makers of awesome software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, etc.) Adobe was interested in using movies and photos about Project Niu as part of their demonstration to educators as to how Adobe’s software can be used in schools. Lead by John Schuman (Worldwide Education Solutions Architect), Adobe’s creative team brought on an incredible film crew from eMotion Studios to help make Project Niu shine. Read more about Adobe and Project Niu.

UH Manoa GEAR UP STEM Enrichment Day

Archinoetics — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:23:33 +0000

Archinoetics worked with isisHawaii to teach local middle school students about computer programming and animation. Using the Alice software platform (created at Carnegie Mellon by Randy Pausch and his team), the students learned how programming concepts work while telling a story through the medium of animation. See photos from the day.
