ASBME Makeathon 2017

The Associated Students of Biomedical Engineering

The Makeathon is a hackathon for designers instead of coders. In 30 hours, 18 teams of 4-5 undergraduates will brainstorm, design, and CAD a medical device under material and functional constraints. At the eight hour mark, teams will present preliminary designs to a panel of mentors who will deliberate and select five teams that will move on to device fabrication. These five teams will utilize USC’s Fabrication Lab to construct their designs from a variety of materials and methods. All teams will prepare a final presentation to be delivered to the panel of judges as well as the rest of the students that will cover design motivations, device functionality, impact on the field or on client needs, as well as other device- and field-related information. There will be one grand prize winner chosen from the five teams sent to production and two runner-up winners chosen from all remaining teams based on final presentations. Though biomedical engineering students are the target demographic, undergraduates from other fields are also encouraged to participate.
*** Limit of one team per non-USC university, please contact us with any questions you have.
*Please note, registration fees are non-refundable.
