GradShow

01 — The show

How do you design and organize a Grad Show with eight projects in one classroom?

For three days, our class turned the Grad Show into a restaurant: Table+34. Every project was plated like a dish on a dinner table. The students were the chefs, their teams were the tables, and the work was the dishes. Companies, mentors, friends and curious guests pulled up a chair. The whole room was curated by our class alone.

02 — The app

To help visitors navigate the room, I built an app you opened by scanning a QR code at your table. Browse the chefs, explore each project, and find the people behind the work. On the app you can read what each team set out to do, see who made it, and stay with a project longer than a glance at the table allowed. A floor map got you to the right seat, and anonymous analytics showed us which tables people kept coming back to.

03 — Built lean

Pulling an event like this together in a few weeks taught us a lot about working lean, staying agile, and getting something ambitious done as a team. The app was part of that. I designed it and built it, and it's still live today. The dishes may be gone, but the conversations are just getting started.
