Thank you to everyone who has already RSVP’d! If you plan to attend Launchpad but haven’t done so yet, we kindly encourage you to RSVP.
Launchpad is the platform for exhibiting the breadth of designs from Georgia Tech’s industrial design students. This event stands as a demonstration of their talent, creativity, and commitment to human-centered design. Over time, it has evolved into a notable assembly, uniting students, faculty, alumni, industry professionals, and design enthusiasts. We welcome anyone interested in exploring how design can enhance the human experience.
This year we are joined by our friends in the School of Architecture and their End-of-Year Show. Both of these events make this the biggest design event in the South!
