Join the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation and our Berkeley Master of Design (MDes) program for the Winter 2024 Design Showcase—a two-day rotating installation of projects, prototypes and research, highlighting the work and accomplishments of our students.

Over the course of these two days, students will showcase work from more than 10 courses hosted at Jacobs Hall, including a Master of Design core course, Technology Design Foundations. Also on display will be club projects, individual proposals, and innovative prototypes supported by the Institute's Innovation Catalysts grant program. This semesterly open house is a fabulous opportunity to converse with student designers and join in on Jacobs Hall's interdisciplinary design community.

With ideas spanning robotics, mobility, social impact, and manufacturing, the showcase will highlight the diversity of the design ecosystem at Jacobs Hall and Cal. All are welcome to attend — the showcase is free and open to the public!  RSVP now to be sure to reserve time in your calendar, and to get updates as the schedule develops.
