TechTrek &
Founder Circle.
Bringing students, founders, and industry voices into one day of company visits and entrepreneurial conversation.

From idea to a full day in motion.
This was a separate event-coordination project, not part of my student-worker responsibilities at InE. I helped bring together the TechTrek company-visit program and Founder Circle discussion: aligning people, places, materials, and timing so participants could focus on learning and connecting.
An early proposal used the name Collider Lab for the founder-discussion concept. The completed event was presented as Founder Circle; these are not two separate events.
What I coordinated.
The itinerary connected visits to HAIzOL and JOWAVE with an introduction to S-tron China, entrepreneur self-introductions, the Founder Circle conversation, and networking. I worked across program design and practical delivery: participant coordination, transport, session flow, bilingual BrainPicker materials, founder name cards, and on-site execution.
Shape the experience
Translate a discussion concept into a workable agenda with clear transitions and participant touchpoints.
Make materials usable
Create bilingual prompts and name cards that help people enter the conversation quickly.
Connect the moving parts
Keep visits, travel, speakers, and participants aligned across a packed afternoon and evening.
Support the room
Handle the live details so discussion and networking can happen naturally.
The result.
The completed event combined real company exposure with a more personal exchange around entrepreneurship. It shows the kind of work I most enjoy: giving a big idea enough structure to become a real, welcoming experience.
Planning materials and attendance/budget records informed this case study. Proposed details that changed during delivery are not presented as completed outcomes.
