The event is open to all Georgia Tech students, faculty, staff, and the local community. Tickets are available now but are limited, so register for the I2P Showcase today. 

Each semester, students in the Idea-to-Prototype course take time out of their schedules, similar to undergraduate research, to build prototypes. Teams accepted into I2P receive a reimbursement of up to $500 for physical expenses, course credit (undergraduate students only), and mentorship from a Georgia Tech faculty member.

During the showcase, participants and judges interact with the projects and give feedback. The criteria for judging are centered on innovation and overall market and impact potential. Judges can include industry professionals, faculty members, and alumni.

Throughout I2P Showcase history, many winning projects have gone on to achieve significant success. One is CaseDocker, which provides an end-to-end workflow management system. The startup now has a user base of over 400 global clients, including Fortune 500 companies. Other winners of the showcase include a blockchain-based music application, Radiochain, a personal financial management platform, Dolfin Solutions, and an EEG monitoring device for pediatric seizure detection, NeuroChamp.

This semester, the I2P cohort includes a digital twin using individual data and AI for health screenings and early detection, an active shooter detection and tracking tool, an AR tool that turns walls into interactive canvases, a device that detects overdosages, 3D-printed circuit boards, an AI detector for digital media, and more.

Whether you're a student with a passion for entrepreneurship, a faculty member interested in the latest student innovations, or a community member looking to support local talent, the I2P Showcase is a perfect opportunity to explore student innovations, mingle, and enjoy refreshments. Register for the I2P Showcase today and join us at the Exhibition Hall for an evening of creativity and community.

Students interested in participating in I2P can do so in the spring, summer, or fall semesters. The registration process involves providing a brief description of the project, the team members involved, and the current stage of development. The deadline for applications is Jan. 6 for Spring 2025 and May 12 for Summer 2025.
