Have a research idea you’d like to explore beyond the lab? Join us for a hands-on session with AI Jetpack, a powerful tool developed at MIT to help researchers map out real-world applications. You’ll create a one-page plan that clarifies your project's purpose, audience, and impact potential—with help from AI and startup experts. No business experience needed—just curiosity and a desire to take your idea further.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the basics of embedded programming using a handheld game device based on the AVTokyo 2022 badge. While the focus is on programming, we’ll also explore hardware fundamentals such as reading sensor data and displaying text on a screen. The badge hardware will be provided by VPC-Asia. Participants should bring a laptop with the Arduino IDE installed and a micro USB cable.

NOTE. The number of participants is limited. Please sign up at the Graduate School counter.

Curious how your research could solve real-world problems? Join us for a hands-on Lean Startup Workshop and map out your project’s impact in just one afternoon.
