Demo Day

What is Demo Day?

Demo Day is a term borrowed from Y Combinator, the most successful startup incubator in the world. Demo Day at Y Combinator is an event where startups in their accelerator program pitch their company to investors and others. At WEquil School, Demo Day is a weekly event where all students have the opportunity to present their projects to others.

Teaching As A Way to Learn

The best way to learn, is to teach. Teaching forces you to break down your understanding of a subject and explain it simply from the ground up. This develops a thorough understanding of the subject along with helping others learn as well.

Adding Value To the Real World

By presenting to real people outside your friends and family at Demo Day you are adding value to the real world. Not only that but audience participants contribute feedback that can let you know whether you have truly created something of value. This is what WEquil School does instead of using grades.
