Two days to make your way of working legible — to a machine, and to people who work nothing like you. This page is what to expect in Tokyo.
Make It So Camp Tokyo runs over two days at Crypto Café Tokyo, in collaboration with the Henkaku Center for Radical Transformation at Chiba Institute of Technology. The cohort is deliberately mixed: researchers, strategists, designers, operators — people from the region who share a problem type, not a job title.
You bring real work. Not a case study, not a sandbox exercise: a live problem where your judgment matters and your method has never been written down. That problem is your material for both days.
Day 1 is about articulation — making the method behind your work explicit enough that someone from another field could follow it. Day 2 puts it to work: you build with the tools, alone or in a small team, and demo what your way of working makes possible.
You leave with three things: a written method you can keep using, a working thing you built from it, and a set of people who now know how you think.
Hands-on from the first hour.
Before
We ask everyone beforehand what they are working on and how they work today. Day 1 starts from what is actually in the room, not from a round of introductions.
Day 1
A sequence of short working blocks, each ending hands-on. You surface the steps, assumptions, and quality signals behind your real problem, write them down, and test with people from other fields whether your method actually transfers. The day ends with choosing what to build — and with whom, or solo.
Day 2
Working blocks with the tools, building from the method you wrote down, with a mid-point critique to catch wrong turns early. The day ends in demo rounds in small groups — not show-and-tell, but what did your way of working make possible — and finishes early enough to travel.
After
What you wrote down is yours: a working method your team can read, question, and improve — and a starting point that compounds with every next build.
What happens on those two days. Times are indicative — the exact rhythm may shift.
