📝 Parent Seminar Topic Survey (1–2 minutes)

As a way to give back to our community, MIOT hosts two types of public events each year: expert talks and parent/student sharing sessions. Some topics feature guest speakers, while others are interactive exchanges led by families or students.
Please select or suggest the topics you care about most; we'll use your input to plan events that better meet our community's needs. The survey is anonymous and used only for planning.
