Demo day energy, measured by questions
Not applause—curiosity. The best demos sparked follow-up work the next morning.

We measure demo day by the questions that follow. Applause fades. A pointed question about latency, materials, or edge cases means someone was paying attention.
Presenters had three minutes: problem, build, what broke. No marketing language. Mentors sat in the front row with pens ready. Students who stuttered still finished—and that mattered.
By morning, three teams had already opened tickets from the Q&A. That is demo day done right: energy that turns into work.
