Innovation Showcase
STEM education. Evolved.
Innovation Showcase
Advancing the Strategic Plan
The Innovation Showcase is the forum in which teams of faculty and staff present their Innovation Accelerator proposals to the Harvey Mudd community and external stakeholders. The College envisions that each round of the Innovation Accelerator will include a call for proposals and the selection of finalists to move forward to the second stage and present their projects to the community at an Innovation Showcase. After each Showcase, selected projects will move forward and become Innovation Accelerator Laboratories.
