OVERVIEW
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a vibrant ecosystem of design - all phases of the design process from concept to prototyping to refinement unfold across our 300-acre campus. Step inside the Yard to meet entrepreneurs defining the future of design from production realization to sustainably sourced food & explore diverse design fields from fashion to photography to applied design & more.
The Yard is one of the city's most iconic innovation centers with a legacy of supporting technology, invention, innovation, & workforce development for more than 200 years. As we undergo plans for expansion, the Yard is increasingly a hub for design & thought-leadership attracting local, national, & international brands.
This event is geared towards design professionals & innovation leaders - individual designers, business owners, & design-focused media outlets - as well as customers & clients looking to buy direct & collaborate with local designers. The Brooklyn Navy Yard is where the fortune 500 come to work with the most future-facing organizations.

In coordination with NASA Centennial Challenges, the Canadian Space Agency, & Impact Canada, the Methuselah Foundation administers the Deep Space Food Challenge.
Featured Guest: NASA Centennial Challenges
NASA Centennial Challenges were initiated in 2005 to directly engage the public in the process of advanced technology development. The program offers incentive prizes to generate revolutionary solutions to problems of interest to NASA & the nation. The program seeks innovations from diverse & non-traditional sources. Competitors are not supported by government funding & awards are only made to successful teams when the challenges are met.
Featured Presentation: NASA Deep Space Food Challenge Innovation Showcase at Smart Design
NASA's Deep Space Food Challenge is an international competition where teams create novel, game-changing food technologies that efficiently produce nutritious & delicious food for both those on Earth & Astronauts on long-duration space missions. Come meet the teams & see mind-blowing tech demos from both Phases One & Two of the Deep Space Food Challenge.
The Deep Space Food Challenge is a coordinated effort between NASA & the Canadian Space Agency. Subject matter experts at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston & the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida support the competition. The Deep Space Food Challenge is one of NASA's Centennial Challenges, which are part of the Prizes, Challenges, & Crowdsourcing program within NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate. The agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, manages Centennial Challenges. NASA, in partnership with the Methuselah Foundation, oversees the United States & international competitors.
