The more you can demonstrate how your innovation works, the better your understanding of the solution and the more informative feedback will be. Join Husky Innovate for an interactive workshop to learn how to prototype your innovation and test it for “customer” feedback. Prototyping can range from simple to complex. This workshop focuses on building a mock-up of your idea so that you may present it and gather feedback. This feedback will inform your next design iteration and help you to tailor your solution to your end-user’s needs. See attached flyer for more details. Contact: Lisa Casper (huskyinnovate@mtu.edu)
