PREP & T-PREP Maker Design Studio Expo
Friday, August 9, 2024 | Location: 145 Dwinelle Hall
The Maker Design Studio (MDS) is an intensive short-course for incoming Berkeley Engineering freshman and transfer students created by UC Berkeley Professor Scott Moura. This design and innovation-focused module is part of the summer programs at UC Berkeley called PREP (Pre-Engineering Program) and T-PREP (Transfer Pre-Engineering Program). MDS teaches students to rapidly ideate, design and prototype innovative engineering systems. To this end, we use the “Sprint” design process recently popularized within the start-up community.
We invite you to participate as a judge (or an observer) as PREP & T-PREP students present their product pitches to a panel of judges, Shark Tank-style.
The Design Maker Studio Expo takes place in person on Friday, August 9th from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time).
Agenda:
- 9:00am – 9:30am Breakfast
- 9:30am – 10:00am Introductions
- 10:00am – 12:00pm Presentations
- 12:00pm – 1:00pm Lunch
- 1:00pm – 3:00pm Presentations
