🎬 Hōʻike’s Youth iPad Video Bootcamp — Student PSAs Premiere!

Hōʻike’s first-ever Youth iPad Video Production Bootcamp wrapped up in style last week with a special visit from Mayor Derek Kawakami and representatives from Spectrum! 🌺

Over three exciting days, middle and high school students learned to plan, film, and edit their own Public Service Announcements (PSAs) — all using iPads provided by Hōʻike. From storyboarding to filming to final edits, these young creators took full control of the process, building real-world media production skills while working with local nonprofit partners.

We’re thrilled to share the amazing PSAs they created! 🙌
Two student teams took on unique community stories — one filming at Hale Līhuʻe and the other at the Kauaʻi Museum. Their work highlights creativity, teamwork, and a powerful sense of community pride.

🎥 Watch their PSAs below and see the next generation of Kauaʻi storytellers in action!

Mahalo to Spectrum for supporting this program, to Mayor Kawakami for inspiring our students with his visit, and to all the families and participants who made this bootcamp such a success!
