Since January 2023, we’ve shifted our focus from improving the hackathon space to rethinking what it means to step into the professional world. We now host in-person events revolving around teaching communication and empathy skills, and we hope every student can express their passions with confidence.
Inspired by soft skills we learned from hosting hackathons, we attended a conference to share our vision of building these skills for students transitioning to the industry. We iterated on numerous ideas for an event and explored what was feasible.
We then experimented with hosting workshops on networking and presenting. This is when we solidified ourselves as a group of students who create fun, interactive experiences for others to build such skills in a low-risk environment.
After our workshops, we turned our focus to a larger event. Our first in-person seminar was a huge success amongst everyone who attended, and it gave partners confidence in our vision to connect the student and professional worlds.
