  • 4/21 Student Showcase: Present to Industry

    Celebrate innovation, creativity, and hands‑on learning at the DFI Student Showcase, part of UConn Gives! Whether you want to present your project or just explore what your peers have been working on, this event is for you.

    What to Expect
    🔹 Student Project Expo
    Walk through a vibrant, interactive expo where students display projects, demos, prototypes, and research developed through DFI’s experiential learning programs. Ask questions, get inspired, and see the wide range of work happening across campus.
    🔹 Lightning Presentations
    Students will give short, engaging presentations to an audience of faculty, industry professionals, and fellow students. Hear quick stories about real-world problem‑solving, innovation, and skill-building.
    🔹 Industry & Faculty Networking
    Meet professionals from partnering organizations, connect with faculty mentors, and learn about opportunities you can get involved with next.

    Want to Participate?
    If you have a project you’re proud of — big or small — we’d love for you to showcase it! Presenters can run a table during the expo portion, give a brief presentation, or do both.
    No formal presentation experience required — this is a supportive, community-focused space.
