Theodore Stethem commented on Rod Hinman's event West Hawaii Tech Pau Hana: Watching Pele with Drones"As technologists, we should fight to start getting social media terms. Drones are missile targets. These are UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), capable of being much more than droning targets. There are now apps to use small UAV cameras in a way similar…"

Topic: Watching Pele with UAVs ("drones") Presenters: Nick Turner and Arthur Cunningham, UH Hilo Anyone can fly an unmanned aircraft, but it takes a special understanding of Geographic Information Systems to turn imagery into actionable data. University of Hawaii-Hilo has been using UAVs to map the active lava flow on the Big Island since October, 2014, in direct support of Hawaii Civil Defense and USGS disaster relief efforts. Repeat high-resolution imagery and derived topographic datasets…See More

Robotics Design ReviewFor this pau hana, we are proud to present the 4th annual FIRST Robotics Challenge Design Review. Come hear how our Kona-area teams are planning their robot designs for the 2015 FIRST Robotics Challenge. The Challenge starts in early January, and teams must stop construction in late February, so our pau hana is about halfway through the process. Come learn about their tasks: last year they had to throw large exercise balls, the year before it was shooting Frisbees, what…See More

Presenter: Rich Bailey, Dewpoint SystemsTitle: Fresh Water from Thin AirOne can use a source of cold temperature, for instance cold seawater, to extract fresh water from the atmosphere. The cold can also be used to grow plant species that would not otherwise thrive in Kona's climate. Rich Bailey has been involved in "ColdAG" since its inception at NELHA with Drs. John Craven and Jack Davidson. He formed DewPoint Systems in 2010 to commercialize thermal energy agriculture and freshwater…See More

Understanding Electrostatic Lunar Dust and its Implications on Space ExplorationPresentation by: Kealakehe Robotics MoonRiders TeamWith the help of PISCES, a set of students at Kealakehe High School is working to research and educate our community about the nature of lunar dust. Since the 1960, NASA and academics around the world have sought to understand the proprieties of this unique material of our closest celestial partner. Hawaii Island's geochemistry shares many properties with this…See More

Laura K. Kinoshita said… It's close! I regularly fly to Honolulu to join meetings. There have just been date conflicts. The June meeting I'll be on an Alaskan cruise and the August meeting I'll be at Inbound 2012 in Boston. I'm really going to try to make the July meeting!
I think I prefer Facebook events better. But, either way is cool.
I put the July meeting in my calendar, and it looks like you're doing them the 4th Monday of the month?

Yea!
Two whole friends on TechHui! Super excited! Thanks Rod. I really want to come down for a tech get-together, but the scheduling just hasn't worked out yet.

The 24th would work fine. Just let me know the logistics, head count(approx), time, etc.
Mahalo,
Jim
