## Background of Sponsorship
TechTrain aims to expand opportunities for students to learn and practice "engineering" hands-on. The Easter Egg Hackathon 2026 has the concept of "It's natural to build according to specifications. How do you hide surprise and playfulness within it?" It is a unique hackathon that competes to implement hidden features (Easter Eggs) that no one expects within a product.
This concept, which aims to create products that envision the user, not just technical skills, resonates with TechTrain's commitment to "providing value through engineering." Furthermore, the broad accessibility, including welcoming beginners and providing mentoring, aligns with TechTrain's desire to support the challenges of next-generation engineers, leading to this sponsorship.
## Event Overview
- Event Name: Easter Egg Hackathon 2026 (EEH2026)
