There are many challenges facing young students who want to learn tech skills for future opportunities. Those difficulties are compounded in remote regions such as Hawai`i. Native Hawaiians must choose between leaving their home for boot camps and businesses on the mainland, or working with tools that aren't aligned with their values. The Purple Mai`a Foundation is an education nonprofit whose mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of builders — the makers of cultural, social and enterprise technologies. Join Blaine Kaho`onei, David Pickett, and Jennifer Hooper as they discuss Purple Mai`a’s learning platform and what working with the organization means for them.
