Campus Talk is an initiative that connects university students with experienced industry mentors to help them explore career paths and take ownership of their professional development early on.

Our upcoming event, "How Products Are Built Inside Tech Companies (at age of AI)," is the fifth in the Campus Talk series. In this interactive session, students will learn how designers, engineers, and product managers collaborate to transform ideas into real software, and gain early insights on how AI tools are reshaping design, development workflows, and the future of product creation.

Exclusive to Temple University Japan Campus students and hosted in collaboration with the Computer Science department, this event is designed to be accessible to all majors curious about the tech industry. No prior coding or design experience is required—just come ready to learn and explore!
