Participants of the "Repairing & Upgrading Your Laptop" workshop as a collaboration between MacTech Guam and the G3 Makerspace and Innovation Hub.
From professionals with years of experience to tech newbies, a total of 12 participants attended the two-day computer repair workshop as part of a partnership between the Guam Green Growth (G3) Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub and MacTech Guam.   The workshop “Let’s fix it! Don’t Ditch it!” aims to empower participants to repair, upgrade and maintain their laptops to boost performance, avoid e-waste and save on the cost of replacement devices.
Dr. Ciemon Caballes, a senior research associate at the University of Guam's NSF EPSCoR and assistant professor at the UOG Marine Lab, presented findings from a study during the "Guam Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Outbreak Response Strategy" workshop in December at the UOG Marine Lab.
Insights into reproductive trends, predation patterns, and climatic triggers observed before a crown-of-thorns (COTS) outbreak are crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies to protect coral reefs, according to Ciemon Caballes, Ph.D., a senior research associate at the University of Guam's NSF EPSCoR.
The Guam Green Growth Connservation Corps is recruiting members for its upcoming fifth season.  Members will be involved with various sustainability linked projects including work with invasive species and other wildlife.
The University of Guam's Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps (G3CC) is now accepting applications for its upcoming fifth season. This five-month program provides twelve adults with valuable hands-on experience in environmental conservation and sustainability to develop the workforce for the emerging green economy.
The upcoming computer repair workshop will be co-hosted by the G3 Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub and Mactech Guam. Participants will learn about basic troubleshooting, hardware upgrades, software maintenance and more.
The University of Guam’s Guam Green Growth (G3) Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub will partner with MacTech Guam to host a computer repair workshop. The event aimed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to repair and maintain their own computers, promoting sustainability and reducing electronic waste.

University of Guam Professor of Ichthyology Terry Donaldson recently co-authored a paper on bioacoustic communication within the family Holocentridae, a group of marine fishes commonly known as squirrelfishes and soldierfishes. These fishes are known to communicate by sound production. The paper, “Sounds as taxonomic indicators in holocentrid fishes,” was a collaboration with Marine Banse, Eric Parmentier and Estrelle Bertimes (University of Liege, Belgium), David Lecchini (PSL University, French Polynesia), and Frederic Bertucci (University of Montpelier, France).
