Welcome to the Launchpad Design Showcase

Our Launchpad Design Showcase shows off work from all Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design students. At the end of each semester, this well-attended event allows our students, their families, alumni and industry guests to connect, network, and take in the breadth and depth of our School's innovative design work.

Our show started a new tradition in 2025, celebrating the culture of Georgia Tech's design disciplines by coinciding with the School of Architecture's End-of-Year Show. We think this amazing night of design is The Biggest Design Show in the South!

There's a lot to experience at the Launchpad Design Showcase: we display several types of industrial design work, including materials exploration, healthcare products and innovations, future interactive experiences, collaborative designs with engineers, service design projects, strategic branding, and UX.
