“Meet Me @” Exhibition Photo Gallery: Fall 2025

By Sarah Elizabeth Bender

On Wednesday, December 10, the Integrative Design, Arts, and Technology (IDeATe) network’s undergraduate artists and innovators from across CMU showcased their imaginative projects and research devised and developed at IDeATe. The fall semester’s exhibition “Meet Me @” celebrated the creative intersection of art and technology, highlighting interdisciplinary projects that encouraged students to innovate beyond the boundaries of their primary majors.

“Meet Me @” is a recurring IDeATe exhibition each semester that offers students from any of IDeATe’s classes the opportunity to share their work with the wider campus community. Fall 2025’s iteration featured a diverse selection of projects from this fall, including inflatable sculptures, game play, textile projects, and more.

IDeATe classes are open to undergraduates from any discipline at CMU, offering opportunities to explore interdisciplinary collaboration in 10 different areas which can also be taken as minors: Game Design, Animation & Special Effects, Media Design, Sonic Arts, Design for Learning, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Intelligent Environments, Physical Computing, Soft Technologies, and Immersive Technologies in Arts & Culture. Interested students can reach out to Assistant Dean Kelly Delaney to learn more about enrolling.
