# Speed Dating

During this class hour, you will have the opportunity to meet half of your classmates in a series of brief, focused conversations. The goal is to identify potential teammates whose research interests and skills complement your own. This is not about finding your exact clone, but rather discovering peers whose strengths and passions could contribute to a well-rounded and dynamic project team.

Be concise, be curious, and most importantly, be yourself. After this session, you will have two weeks to form a team for collaboration on a research project. This is your chance to make meaningful connections that could shape your semester-long project and perhaps even your future in AI research.

## Exercise

* You will participate in 10 rounds of speed dating, with each round lasting 5 minutes and a 1-minute transition time between rounds.
* During each round:
  * 2 minutes for you to present and answer questions
  * 2 minutes for your partner to present and answer questions
  * 1 minute for mutual questions and note-taking
* After each round, find a new partner you have not interacted with yet.
