About this Event

Launchpad Design Showcase - Spring 2026
Join Us:

Launchpad is the platform for exhibiting the breadth of designs from Georgia Tech's industrial design students. This event stands as a testament to their talent, creativity, and commitment to human-centered design. Over time, it has evolved into a notable assembly, uniting students, faculty, alumni, industry professionals, and design enthusiasts. We welcome anyone interested in exploring how STEM design education can enhance the human experience.

This year we are joined by our friends in the School of Architecture and their End-of-Year Show. Both of these events make this the biggest design event in the South!
