2026 Disruptor Games for Undergraduate and Graduate Students

Drexel LeBow’s Dornsife Office for Experiential Learning presents the 2026 Disruptor Games — a one-day competition focused on the intersection of disruptive technologies and business.

Prior knowledge not required! In preparation for Disruptor Games, students will participate in a workshop led by LeBow and industry partners to learn about various disruptive technologies relevant to the industry partner.

Following the workshop, student teams will compete to propose how best to use one or more of the technologies to solve a business problem presented by the industry partner.

Registration and Requirements

Participants will work in teams of five to seven students and will present to a panel of faculty and industry judges.

This event is open to undergraduate and graduate students across all Drexel programs.

Please register by Monday, April 20. Students can individually register for the competition and be placed on an open team or register as a team comprised of a minimum of five or maximum of seven students (each student must enter team name on registration form to be on a team).

Please contact Kelly Amber (ka973@drexel.edu) with any questions.
