EPICS Innovation Showcase

What is an EPICS Innovation Showcase

The Innovation Showcase is an exhibit of EPICS student-produced projects, demonstrating how EPICS students solve real-world problems with innovative and imaginative solutions. Collaborating with industry partners and community mentors, students work on creating solutions to meet tangible industry and societal needs. Innovation Showcase enables young makers to produce, refine and develop new inventions, new methodologies, new creations and new ideas.

At the Innovation showcase, students will:

Present their EPICS posters to the public.
Demo their EPICS prototype for attendees.
Speak with judges in English explaining their project in prototype.
Compete for innovation awards.
Share their innovations with fellow students from their school and any other schools participating in a regional EPICS program.

Innovation Showcase

The Innovation Showcase is the culminating event of EPICS where teams present both their prototype and poster. The prototype demonstrates their solution in action, while the poster illustrates the creative process and design journey behind it. Together, they showcase how an initial idea was transformed into a meaningful project with real-world impact.

Team Presentation

The top ten teams will step onto the stage to present their innovations and demonstrate the impact of their work. This is their moment to showcase creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving in front of peers, mentors, and judges. Innovation Awards will be presented to the winners — $500 for the first place, $300 for the second place, and $200 for the third place.

Award Ceremony

The Award Ceremony will honor the dedication and contributions of faculty and students throughout the program. Winning teams will be recognized for their innovative achievements, celebrating their success while inspiring future innovations.
