In class today, we met with Rich Matsuda. Rich came to our class in search for ideas. As the Operations and Infrastructure Senior Manager he came looking for ideas from high-school student innovators. Our capstone class really incorporates lots of great & diverse minds with different ideas. His goal from our conference was to gather information about what we think is important about Mauna Kea and the observatories. With all of the controversy over TMT and the land that "is not" kept sacred, Rich is working toward getting more and more people to come to a neutral agreement that the land is sacred for native Hawaiians as well as engineers and scientists. Our purpose in this is to provide our ideas as to ways that both communities can come to a mutual understanding that the land is equally important to both.
