At the end of their projects every semester, both bachelor and master Industrial Design students present their work in an exhibition like setting: the demo day.
Your work is presented in an exhibition like setting, with attention to detail and showing that you are able to present yourself as a professional (future) industrial designer. The demo day provides the opportunity to demonstrate your (interactive) prototype(s), supported by a pitch and visuals (e.g. poster and video). It is a formative assessment moment in which you receive feedback from your examiner(s), and is part of your competence assessment (obligatory) giving feedback on your overall competence of designing and presentation.
Organization
The demo day exhibition set-up, including all demonstrators, has to be ready on the Wednesday before the demo day (Friday). Project coaches and examiners have the opportunity to visit the projects on Thursday; so make sure that the content you present is clear and communicates your story/progress.
During the Demo Day (Friday), which is open to the public, all students present their work in a location in Atlas. The time slot(s), floor plan and further instructions will be communicated via the student newsletter and Canvas.
Intellectual Property (IP) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) during the Demo Day
Do you have an inventive idea and do you think that you might be able to protect it with a patent? Then do not present the part that might be protected during the demo day. Check the pages on IP and NDA for more information.
