- Portfolio Building: Students walk away with prototypes, solution decks, and project documentation they can showcase on LinkedIn and in interviews.
- Career Visibility: Outstanding project teams are often nominated by mentors for internships, industry exposure events, or even recruitment pipelines.
- Innovation Showcases: Institutions can co-host Design Thinking Showcases, where top student teams pitch their ideas to industry panels.
