Scott Evans is the Director of Inventionworks at the University of Texas, just a few blocks away from our Mako Design Austin office. Inventionworks is a 23,000 square foot product design and development facility with lots of fun machines and a team of 40 experts to help get student inventions off the ground. In addition, Scott has spent 25 years in the prototyping and product manufacturing industry. Today Scott is going to share some valuable knowledge on how student inventors and startups can start their invention idea journey, and how to maximize the value of what colleges and universities have to offer. And today isn’t just about students, but also how anyone in the industry can get involved with their local schools both to help and to learn from them.
Today you will hear us talk about:
- Look around campus (student to student, faculty, entrepreneurial programs)
- Product development in combination with an entrepreneurial mindset
- How can people in the community be helpful for universities hardware incubators
- Continuous learning, regress back to the role of a student to learn
- Blur the lines between education and professional practice
