== Hackathon Speed Networking ==
=== Background ===
Many students want to connect with professors, seniors, or other faculties but don’t know how to start conversations or find the right opportunities.
While there are seminars and career events, they often feel formal and distant.
We believe that casual, topic-based conversations can help students discover new interests, advice, and future directions more naturally.
=== Challenge ===
We will organize a Speed Networking Event where students move from one table to another, just like speed dating.
Each table focuses on a specific recent topic such as “study abroad,” “research life,” “career paths,” or “student projects.”
An icebreaker session will be held at the beginning so everyone feels comfortable joining.
This event allows students to meet professors, seniors, and active peers in a relaxed atmosphere and explore ongoing opportunities in one go.
=== Target ===
Students who want to meet professors or seniors but feel shy in formal settings
Students looking for new academic or career inspiration
Professors, alumni, and student organizations interested in connecting with current students
==Hackathon==
===Background===
Many students at Tohoku University say, “I have ideas, but I don’t know how to start,” or “I want to collaborate with people from other faculties or companies.”
We believe that by providing an open and friendly hackathon space, students can experience the excitement of creating together and gain confidence to take on challenges.
=== Challenge ===
We will organize Tohoku University Hackathon Project, starting with beginner-friendly mini hackathons open to all students, not only engineers.
Through this initiative, students can experience innovation firsthand and learn how to turn ideas into action.
=== Target ===
Students who have ideas but don’t know how to realize them
