The Spring 2025 Showcase form deadline has been extended 24 hours - the deadline to submit the form is now Saturday, March 22nd, 2025 at 11:59PM.
Contact: Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns to Maya Pollack, who is in charge of the IDM Showcase
In order to participate all students must complete the Spring 2025 Showcase form by the deadline and follow all deadlines stated on the form.
After the submission deadline, all submissions will be reviewed and outreach will begin to set up individual and group meetings to discuss project details and space allocation. The intention is to begin these meetings after the form submission deadline in order to have a clear understanding of all student requests prior to allocating spaces and resources to individuals.
In early April students will also receive a separate form they may use to submit images for promotional materials.
For the Spring 2025 Semester students participating in the Spring Showcase are expected to adhere to the following deadlines. Failure to do so can result in your project's removal from the showcase and website.

It will be science fair style, meaning most students will be presenting from their laptop.
Your senior project will be publicly shown in the IDM showcase at the end of the semester. Exhibiting your work is truly a gift of accomplishment, response, and feedback.
Show Your Work: Your project should be as complete as humanly possible. You will exhibit your senior project publicly in the IDM Showcase. If you don't understand the importance and benefits of exhibiting your work, I HIGHLY recommend that you read Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon NOW (Cheat Sheet).
Network: Include your senior project on your portfolio website. You should also consider displaying your process website, as well as having business cards, postcards, and/or copies of your résumé handy.
Document Your Work and Feedback! Take photos and/or videos of your exhibition. Document audience feedback. Upload both to your project documentation folder for your end-of-semester deliverables!
