About this Event
Session Description
Join us for an interactive workshop that outlines the journey of physical product development. Whether you're an entrepreneur or engineer, you'll learn about the key stages of development that turn ideas into real, market-ready products: ideation, design validation, research and development (R&D), prototyping, and manufacturing. This 60 minute workshop will focus on iterative development during the R&D and prototyping phases, showing you how to rapidly test and refine your designs to create better products.
If you're ready to venture boldly into the exciting world of physical product development, we’d love to have you! For maximum impact, bring a sketch, idea or prototype of a potential product to keep in mind as you learn. There may also be opportunities for brief sharing within the group.
