In the spring of 2024, students across the nation pitched their products for social good!

Demo Days are our annual pitch event where all our teams showcase their inventions to top investors and tech executives for funding. Teams can participate in either virtual or in person events around the country and focus on topics such as wellness, pollution, safety, accessibility, and so much more!

Meet Team AdaptPlay

An adaptive gaming controller for individuals with limited mobility.

AdaptPlay is a team of four students from White Salmon, WA that built a customized keyboard and mouse that allows those with limited motor skills to use a computer. They were motivated to design the controller by a fellow classmate, Jose, who has cerebral palsy and was excited to use the new device to play Minecraft, just like any other teenager. They presented their invention at Demo Day, and their hard work and empathy were key to their win. They were even invited to present AdaptPlay at Microsoft to XBOX engineers.
