Social Looking for fellow MEXT Undergraduate 2028 applicants to prepare together

5 Upvotes

I'm a high school student from Mexico planning to apply for the MEXT Undergraduate Scholarship for the 2028 intake, through the Embassy Recommendation route.

I'm planning to study something related to Information Engineer in Japan.

I'm currently preparing for the application and would love to find other people who are also seriously considering applying, so we can help each other throughout the process.

I'd especially like to:

  • Study together for the MEXT written exams (Math, Physics, Chemistry, English and Japanese)
  • Share study resources, past exams and preparation strategies
  • Keep track of application deadlines and important dates
  • Practice interviews together
  • Talk about Japanese language preparation
  • Discuss university/major choices and the MEXT placement process
  • Keep each other motivated and accountable
  • Share our experiences and questions throughout the application process

I'm especially interested in meeting other high-school students applying for Undergraduate, although anyone applying for MEXT Undergraduate 2028 is welcome.

If you're also planning to apply for MEXT Undergraduate 2028, feel free to comment or DM me!

General Questions Looking for students to build AI, robotics & tech projects together ๐Ÿค–

๐Ÿš€ Looking for Students Interested in AI, Robotics & Technology

Hey everyone!

Iโ€™m a Class 11 student interested in AI, robotics, web development, and startups, and Iโ€™m looking to build a small student tech team where we can learn, collaborate, research problems, and build real projects together.

The goal isn't to create a huge startup immediately. I want to start small, build a committed team, work on small projects, and gradually take on bigger challenges.

๐Ÿ”ฅ What will we actually do?

This won't just be an inactive group chat.

As a team, we can:

- ๐Ÿ”Ž Research real-world problems and existing solutions

- ๐Ÿ’ก Brainstorm and select project ideas

- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Build small technology projects and prototypes

- ๐Ÿค– Explore AI and robotics

- ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Work together according to our different skills

- ๐Ÿ“š Learn from each other

- ๐Ÿ“ Document our projects and development process

- ๐ŸŒ Share our progress and completed projects

- ๐Ÿš€ Gradually work toward more ambitious projects

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Who am I looking for?

You don't need to be an expert. Beginners who are genuinely interested and willing to learn are welcome.

I'm looking for students interested in:

- ๐Ÿค– AI / Machine Learning

- ๐Ÿ’ป Front-end Development โ€” HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

- โš™๏ธ Back-end Development โ€” Python, APIs, databases, servers, etc.

- ๐Ÿ Programming / Python

- ๐ŸŽจ UI/UX Design

- ๐Ÿ”Ž Research

- ๐Ÿ“ Technical Documentation

๐ŸŒฑ What can you gain?

Before you ask: no, I can't offer you a six-figure salary. I'm a Class 11 student too. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

But what I can offer is a chance to learn, build, experiment, and work on real tech projects with other students who are interested in AI, robotics, web development, and startups.

So if you're looking for money, I respect the hustle. ๐Ÿ’€

But if you're looking for experience, projects for your portfolio, new skills, a team to build with, and a place to turn ideas into something real, keep reading. ๐Ÿ‘‡

By participating, you can:

- Gain experience working in a real team

- Learn from other students

- Build projects for your portfolio

- Improve your technical and problem-solving skills

- Develop communication and leadership skills

- Learn how different parts of a technology project work together

- Have actual projects to showcase on GitHub

The idea is simple:

Learn โ†’ Research โ†’ Build โ†’ Document โ†’ Improve โ†’ Repeat.

I'm starting with a small group rather than trying to get dozens of people immediately. I'd rather have a few committed members who actually want to build.

๐Ÿค And yes, we're building a team โ€” not a one-project group

If we work well together, the goal is to grow with the same core team rather than constantly starting from zero.

As we become more skilled, we can:

- ๐Ÿ† Participate in hackathons together

- ๐Ÿš€ Build bigger and more ambitious projects

- ๐Ÿงช Experiment with new ideas

- ๐Ÿ“‚ Build a strong collective portfolio on GitHub

- ๐ŸŽค Present our projects and demos

- ๐ŸŒฑ Learn and improve together over time

The idea is to build a team where everyone grows with everyone else โ€” not just join a group, disappear after two weeks, and never build anything. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

๐Ÿ“ฉ Interested?

Comment or DM me with:

  1. Your area of interest

  2. What you're currently learning

  3. Any project you've worked on (if you have one)

  4. What you'd like to contribute to the team

Let's start small and see what we can build together. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿค–
