Hawaii’s leading Internet, television and telecommunications service provider is in the forefront of advancing the state of education in the islands. Oceanic Time Warner Cable carries out, supports or sponsors several education-based, community-oriented programs to further pedagogy and recognize the state’s greatest proponents of education.

Oceanic Time Warner holds Ready to Learn Family Day every summer, providing an afternoon of entertainment, children’s games, rides, bouncers, slides, food booths, prizes, character appearances and other fun surprises for the whole family. Entrance to the event is a donation of school supplies for underprivileged children and out-of-school youth.

Oceanic also sponsors a talent contest dubbed, Road to Fame, where students from different schools in the state compete for scholarship prizes. The elimination rounds are aired tape-delay while the grand final broadcasts live with interactive voting to pave way for public participation. Another way of putting the youth under the limelight, Oceanic films a 30-second spot of public school students as they talk about things that they are especially proud of. This initiative helps promote school spirit and personal pride. On the other hand, to recognize the impact and efforts of Hawaii’s educators, Oceanic films and airs a 30-second spot showcasing outstanding educators chosen by their school principal. The nominees get pictured in a full-page newspaper ad and honored at a luncheon. Moreover, Oceanic helps to promote the Crystal Apple Awards, a national initiative recognizing great local education programs – and the innovative educators who have implemented them to transform the learning for kids.
