Notion Nexus - BY2026
Notion Nexus: #BuildYour2026 is a hands-on productivity and planning workshop designed to help students start 2026 with clarity, structure, and momentum — all powered by Notion.
Whether you’re struggling to manage courses, goals, projects, or daily tasks, this session will show you how to build a personalized digital system that actually works for you. From understanding the fundamentals of Notion to building a complete semester dashboard live, participants will leave with a setup they can immediately use for academics and beyond.
This is not just a talk — it’s a build-along experience where you’ll design your own workspace, explore Notion’s customization options, and get a glimpse of how AI can simplify note-taking and planning.
