AinaQuest

ʻĀinaQuest, an educational card game, aims to inspire people to learn more about native plants while centering Hawaiian plant stories and knowledge.

It is a tool for multigenerational storytelling and preservation of Indigenous knowledge. Hawaiʻi is a beautiful and unique place as the most isolated island chain in the world. Hawaiʻi is home to thousands of native and non-native plants, and 40% of the total endangered plant species in the United States. As kanaka and kamaʻāina of this land, we believe it is our duty to preserve the beauty of Hawaiʻi for future generations--and that includes our plants! In order to educate and inspire people to care about native plants, we must meet the community where they are at, and we believe our fun and educational card game will help players cultivate the knowledge needed for environmental stewardship and conservation. Our team met at the Build4Good AI Hackathon hosted by Purple Maiʻa on December 8, 2023, and we gathered together around a shared value of wanting to increase pilina with native plants. Within 48 hours, we created and printed our first deck of plant-mon playing cards! We’ve been playing board games and learning about plants together ever since.
