Kālepa Baybayan, previously Navigator-in-Residence, is the Associate Director of 'Imiloa Astronomy Center, Hilo. An active participant in the voyaging renaissance since 1975, Baybayan has served as captain and navigator aboard the Hawaiian deep-sea voyaging canoes Hōkūle'a, Hawai'iloa, and Hōkūalaka'i and sailed on all major voyages of the Hōkūle'a throughout Polynesia, Micronesia, the west coast of North America, and Japan. His most recent voyage as captain and navigator aboard Hōkūle'a took him and a Hawaiian speaking crew from Okinawa to Yamaguchi prefecture.
Baybayan is among an elite society of traditional wayfinding astronomers called "Master Navigators". Skilled in the study of Hawaiian starlines and the celestial sphere, and trained by traditional Satawalese Master Navigator Mau Piailug, he shares the title of Pwo Master Navigator with only 4 others in Hawai'i.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
