Hawaii Students Shape National AI Policy | Honolulu News

Two Hawaiian students are jetting off to Boston this July to shape the future of AI in education—joining a national fellowship where they’ll co-draft a National AI Policy with school leaders. Senior Wehiwaalani Gapero and sophomore Kendall Terao-Toma will represent Hawaii Island at the America’s Youth AI Festival, working alongside peers to ensure AI is used ethically in classrooms. Accompanied by educator Keolu Kailikea, they’ll bring back actionable insights to empower their schools and communities. Beyond policy, the festival bursts with innovation: AI art, student-led problem-solving contests, and networking—all designed to equip young people to lead in a tech-driven world.
