If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or inventor looking to bring a new product to market, this FREE web series is for you! Each week we will feature a new subject matter expert on a range of topics you need to know to successfully launch a physical product.

We will be adding new sessions through February -- so be sure them catch them all!

When you are ready to prototyping that product, then check out Startup Tucson's free prototyping studio in downtown Tucson. We have all the equipment and training support you need to build an exciting prototype.

Session 3: Transforming Your Sketch Into A Prototype!

So you’ve turned your idea into a sketch, but now you want to know, “How do I transform this into a prototype?” How do you bring your idea into the physical world? We’ll be talking all about the most common product prototyping equipment, their advantages and limitations, and the process of going from sketch to design on a computer to a prototype.

Our guest this week is Soroosh Hedayati.
