Tinker Tuesdays is a casual, drop-in working session for anyone interested in AI.
Bring your laptop, work on an AI project, experiment with a new tool, learn alongside others, or simply stop by to see what people are building. There is no formal presentation and no pressure to arrive with a finished idea. The goal is to create a welcoming space where people can work, ask questions, exchange tips, and help one another make progress. Whether you are building an app, exploring AI for your business, learning to code, want to know what tools people are using, testing creative tools, or just getting started, you are welcome.
What to expect:
A relaxed, collaborative working environment
Time to work on your own project
Opportunities to ask questions and get tips from others
Conversations with local builders, learners, and AI enthusiasts
No experience required
When: Every Tuesday, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Where: Entrepreneurs Sandbox, 643 Ilalo Street, Honolulu
Bring your laptop, charger, and anything you are working on. Come for the full session or drop in whenever you can.
Tinker Tuesdays is hosted by the Hawaii Center for AI and is open to all skill levels.

Welcome to the 5th Annual Hawaii AI and Cloud Innovation Summit! The 5th Hawaiʻi AI & Cloud Innovation Summit is where the people who can move the state forward sit in the same room. For five years, this Summit has built the awareness, the capacity, and the solidarity to take AI seriously in our islands. This year we take up the harder question: how do you actually put it to work? The morning main stage lays out where Hawaiʻi’s economy is heading and why AI self-reliance matters, which in practice means locally governed AI: infrastructure, data, and decisions we control. The afternoon hands leaders the playbooks to act on it, from moving pilots into production, to building the governance foundations that make AI durable, to growing AI-ready talent in a way that honors how we work here. The Summit is convened by TRUE Initiative in partnership with DBEDT/HTDC and the Hawaiʻi Executive Collaborative, and it is built around a table where government, industry, academia, and philanthropy sit as equals. Every session is measured against a single question: does this help Hawaiʻi build a stronger economy and create jobs here at home? Our partners are co-creators in that work. Done the Hawaiʻi way, AI self-reliance means using these tools to help people accomplish more and to create new work. Proven here, it becomes a model other places can follow. When: Full Day Event, November 5 from 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Where: Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort Investment: $99 General Admission Includes: Lunch and coffee breaks WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This Summit is built for the people who can commit an organization to a direction.
