Meet Hawaii's Championship Robotics Teams

Did you know that Hawai'i has a rich youth robotics scene? When Hawaiʻi’s robotics teams compete at the world championships, they’re not just building robots—they’re building the skills our islands need. Join us for an afternoon celebrating their achievements and connecting students, job seekers, career-changers, and local companies investing in Hawaiʻi’s tech future. With robot demos! --- Our showcase features local robotics startups, teams from Island Robotics and coaches like Jared Haiola, who has guided dozens of Hale'iwa students to VEX IQ World Championships over the past decade. His students don't just learn robotics—they learn to solve problems with limited resources, collaborate under pressure, and build things that work.
