But not everyone understands the implications of building with AI or frankly, where to begin. You may know you need data, but you aren't sure which data. You may know you need a model, but you don't know which kind. Tomorrow, we'll cover the basics of building your AI-driven MVP with responsibility in mind Check out our lineup: Karina Samsonova - Data Scientist Afrah Kausar - LLM Engineer Mabel Yiu, LMFT - Clinical Therapist and Doctorate in Responsible AI Rose Genele - Executive in Responsible and Ethical AI See you there!

Congratulations Jennifer Moura and Tatiana Souza for your Community Impact award for PonoConnect!!

Honolulu Tech Week has been an incredible opportunity to unite our tech community, and we were thrilled to host our first-ever Women in Tech Co-Working and Talk Story event in collaboration with Waiwai Collective. The energy in the room—filled with talented wahine working, networking, and having fun—was a powerful reminder of our mission coming to life. When we create spaces where women feel safe to connect, share, and be vulnerable, transformative shifts happen—impacting us on individual, collective, and community levels. We’re excited to bring even more to the community, including scholarships, Wahine in Tech awards, and Women in Tech forums across the Islands. These are just a few of the incredible ideas sparked by our growing network. To continue this important work, we need the diverse perspectives, strategy, and governance of women from across the community. We’re forming our founding Board of Directors to lead this vision forward. If you're interested—or know someone who is—please apply or encourage a friend to do so. We can't wait to hear your ideas for the future of Hawai'i Women in Tech!
