​Welcome

​Thank you for joining us to celebrate the students of the EPIC Innovation Challenge. Over the past six weeks, 52 students across 13 employer-partner teams have tackled real-world business and technology challenges — and today they share what they built. The day runs in two parts: a main-stage showcase featuring standout teams, followed by an open Project Expo where every team demonstrates their work one-on-one. We’re glad you’re here to see it.

​Format at a Glance

​Part 1 — Main Stage: Six standout teams give short stage presentations to the full audience.

​Part 2 — Project Expo: All 13 teams staff tables simultaneously while guests, employers, and circulate for live demos.

​Closing Program: Recognition, certificates, and a group photo bring everyone back together to wrap the day.
