Join us for the final Demo Day at The Iron Yard with some very talented developers. Demo Day will kick off with brief presentations about the 20 engineers who will present full applications, the culmination of their intensive training at The Iron Yard to an audience of local tech companies, engineers, and supporters of the tech community. Following presentations, attendees will be able to see first-hand demos of the applications and get to know the engineers. All are welcomed to attend!
Presentations will be from 2pm – 2:30 pm and followed by a science-fair style Q&A time with students, where attendees will have the chance to interact with the projects, view the code, and talk with graduates individually.
The event will take place at the Iron Yard campus, located on the 4th and 5th floor of the Station House building.
