On Monday, April 22, CREATE-X will host the Spring 2024 Idea to Prototype (I2P) Showcase in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building Atrium from 5 to 7 p.m. At the showcase, student inventors across campus will present functional prototypes with application to real-world problems. The event is free and open to the public.

The showcase is the culmination of the I2P course, where Georgia Tech students spend a semester turning their invention idea into a working product. Students earn research credit for the course, in addition to receiving financial support and faculty mentorship.

The I2P course was established through CREATE-X, a Georgia Tech initiative devoted to instilling entrepreneurial confidence in students and empowering them to launch successful startups. CREATE-X consists of three programmatic elements – LEARN-MAKE-LAUNCH – and I2P is a key part of MAKE.

The showcase in April will highlight the talent and hard work of students who participated in I2P throughout the spring semester. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place.
