AboutAbout

Engineering Expo is a joint May Festival exhibition organized by students from the University of Tokyo's Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics and Department of Applied Physics. In 2026, it will be held on May 16 and 17. Visit us to enjoy approachable exhibits on mathematics, physics, information science, and more.

ExhibitionsExhibitions

Board Game Team

Who has the sharper strategy: you or AI? Challenge an AI opponent in Quoridor, a board game that rewards deep insight. Play on the physical setup or on your phone.
