Let’s slow it down and soak in the last Hawaiian sunset 🌊Share your inspired ideas, or just vibe and co-exist with your fellow Swell friends, speakers, and new creative partners.

We’ll be at Kaimana Beach (map link)— a local’s absolute favorite spot, just a 10-minute walk from La Pietra. Away from the busy Waikīkī strip, it’s calm, open, and often blessed with Hawaiian monk seals lounging in the sand.

Bring swimsuits, beach towels, and good energy — or just come as you are and relax..

• Kaimana Beach – only a 10-minute walk from La Pietra
  

• 5 stand-up paddleboards available (SUP crew, let’s go go go!)
  

• Snacks + non-alcoholic drinks provided (no alcohol on the beach)
  

• Hau Tree — located right at the Kaimana Beach Hotel — perfect for cocktails and bites if you’re craving something stronger! It’s Summer’s favorite local spot — grab a few new Swell friends and enjoy their best island drinks and bites as the sun dips…boards available (SUP crew, let’s go go go!)
  

This special day is dedicated to Hawai‘i’s students (keiki), teachers, and school communities — those who will grow up with AI as a daily presence in their lives, and who deserve more than just access. They deserve understanding, critical thinking, creativity, and a sense of agency.

Through talks, workshops, and hands-on sessions, we’ll explore questions like:

• How can we think more critically with AI?
  

• How can AI amplify — not replace — human creativity?
  

• What does it mean to lead with curiosity in an AI-driven world?
  

GenJam Workshop — hands-on play with generative creativity tools

• Open to children & studetns + teachers & parents
  

• 10-noon GenJam time, and presentation
