Marion Ano addressing the Purple Maia class
Purple Maia is a technology education nonprofit working to transform Hawaii’s young thinkers into makers. Their mission is to build pathways of knowledge together with high-opportunity youth in order to help communities thrive. They currently teach beginning programming and computer science at nine locations in schools. They focus their efforts on communities where many students are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Their focus on students that grow up in adversity reflects their belief that the resilience and perspective of Hawaii’s people will shape the world for the better.
