The Pūpūkahi Tech email list
Beginner-friendly AI, digital-safety and tech workshops across the islands. Our sessions fill up fast — subscribers hear first.
What makes Pūpūkahi Tech different from another tech newsletter.
Every workshop and course we run costs nothing. No upsells, no paid tiers.
No tech background needed. Kūpuna, students and shop owners learn side by side, and no question is too small.
Held in neighborhood spaces like Hawaiian Island Cafe and Hawaiʻi Creator Space, taught by people who live here.
Leave with something you can use tomorrow: a live website, an AI workflow, a safer setup.
Crypto and blockchain are taught as education and scam awareness, never investment advice.
Popular sessions fill to a waitlist. Subscribers hear about new dates before they go public on social.
Real sessions with local residents, students and small-business owners.
