We are so excited to announce our 2025 Demo Days! Demo Day is our community showcase where MESA students present the inventions they have been working on and get valuable feedback from the community. According to our yearly theme Climate Action: Designing for Environmental Sustainability student teams have been working with a client in their community to design projects to create and maintain healthy, equitable and diverse communities and ecosystems. Students use the principles of human-centered design and invention education when developing these client-focused solutions.
Register below, and come check out these amazing projects at a Demo Day near you, and remember: this is our only annual competition that is open to the public. This year we are hosting four Demo Days in our different regions:
