SUMMARY:Entrepreneurship: Prototyping & Testing (Q3)
DESCRIPTION:Prototyping & Testing is a members-only, mentoring-style Entrepreneurship cohort focused on turning ideas into practical models, experiments, and testable solutions. Participants work on their own projects while collaborating with mentors and peers to explore concepts, evaluate capabilities, and learn through hands-on testing.\nThis cohort is designed for a variety of prototyping needs. Participants may create a mockup or early version of a potential product, develop a proof of concept, or build a test platform to evaluate whether a particular component, process, technology, or capability will work as intended.\nRather than following a fixed curriculum, learning is driven by participants’ projects, questions, and shared problem-solving across the group.\nWhat to expect:\n\nDefining what a prototype or test needs to demonstrate\nCreating physical or digital mockups and proof-of-concept models\nDeveloping test platforms, fixtures, or experiments\nIdentifying assumptions, risks, and technical questions\nTesting functionality, usability, materials, or processes\nGathering feedback and documenting results\nRevising designs based on what is learned\nMentoring support and peer feedback throughout the process\n\nParticipants should expect to cover the cost of materials used for their individual projects. Projects may involve laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC, electronics, robotics, software, assembly, or a combination of tools and techniques.\nThis kickoff will bring interested members together to discuss their projects, identify shared interests and resources, and determine how often and when the cohort will meet during the quarter.\nThis cohort is a great fit for makers, entrepreneurs, inventors, and technology builders who want to move an idea beyond discussion and begin learning through building, testing, and refinement.\nGet Connected to receive updates and information on happenings in our community.\n
