The measure of stronger together
Impact, for us, isn't abstract. It's a student at the controls of a drone for the first time, a school on the podium, a partner at the table. Here's what that has added up to.
What impact looks like
We don't just host events. We open doors — and we keep them open.
Every program is built to compound: a student who flies a drone at Ke Ala Hou returns to compete at Cyber Forensics, then steps into an internship, then mentors the next group coming up.
The numbers below are real — drawn from our competitions, camps, and the summit that brought the Pacific's leaders together.

Cyber Forensics Five-0
Three years on the cyber range
Each year, students from across Hawaiʻi are thrust into a simulated cybercrime scene — securing vulnerable systems and racing the clock at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The 2026 challenge spanned Open and JROTC divisions.

project learning
Ke Ala Hou STEM Camp
From classroom to flight line in five days
An intensive program guiding Hawaiʻi high-schoolers through aeronautics, geospatial applications, data science, and coding — building critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Schools on our floor
Students from these Hawaiʻi schools have competed, camped, and placed with PTCG.
I felt like everything was perfect — the drones, the code, and the activities were good and fun.
Help us grow it
Turn impact into momentum
Your support puts more students on the cyber range and more drones in the air — across more islands, every year.
