“[Tsai CITY] is designed to work for you, rather than for some other external metrics. It's this space where, if I need inspiration, I can come to a talk. If I need some advice, I can ask to be connected with a mentor. If I need someone to listen to me. I can come to the space and see a friendly face and share what I'm working on.”

Intensives are hands-on, multi-session learning experiences designed with depth and intentionality. Each program brings together diverse cohorts to explore themes like product development and climate innovation.
Mentorship is a core part of the student experience at Tsai CITY. Students can connect with our team during open office hours to discuss ideas, get feedback, or explore new directions.
