Community Events

Throughout the year, we offer one-off events to inspire new ideas and spark connections. These events invite our community to gather in supportive, low-stakes settings. 

Three students talk in group activity

Curious about innovation? Interested in Tsai CITY, but short on time? Looking to connect with fellow students who are excited about new ideas? Check out our community events, which happen throughout the school year. Pitch any idea — no matter how early-stage, outlandish, or just plain weird it might be — at a pitch slam. Share your stories and hear others' perspectives in programs like fail nights. Stop by a pop-up or study break for a quick activity or conversation (and probably some snacks too). We'd love to meet you.
